Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh is the second largest city in the state of Pennsylvania. It is known as the “City of Champions,” “Steel City” and “The City of Bridges.”

Here I am by the stadiums, overlooking Downtown Pittsburgh and the Allegheny River.

For a day trip, I drove about an hour south-east to Fallingwater. Fallingwater is a house that is built over a waterfall by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935.

Back in the city I went to the Mt. Washington to see another view of Downtown and the Monongahela River. DSC_0143
While Downtown, I had to see a rival cat… the University of Pittsburgh Panther. DSC_0153
I also visited the Cathedral of Learning, which houses most of the University. It it known for its Nationality Rooms. Actual classes are in these ornate rooms… but I couldn’t help myself from sharing some Penn State Pride!

This is the view from the top of the Cathedral. Breathtaking!

I also went to the Andy Warhol Museum. Even though it is small, you can learn a lot about the artist who grew up and made a lot of art in this old Steel Town.

Have you been to Pittsburgh? Do you have any good day trips from the Three River City?
