Poor Sally. She was in Oklahoma City for work during the week and was going to fly into Cincy on Friday in time to catch our bus to the 'burgh. After many many delayed flights, and finally convincing the airlines to get her a ticket straight to Pittsburgh (b/c she'd be too late for the bus), she ended up coming in at 10pm. She spent the whole day at airports. Awesome.
So anywho. I had made it, another awesome couchsurfer had picked me up, and then we got Sally. Adam was a savior. Not only did he respond to our last minute request, he MADE Pittsburgh the awesomeness that it is for us. Here's what we learned while we were there:
- The correct way of saying Carnegie. It's CarnEgie, bitchez.
- That the Science Center is the funnest place no matter what age you are
- 16 degrees is cold. And windchills don't help. And thank god for someone willing to drive us around
- There's 3 rivers, but really it's TWO rivers... and they become the Ohio River. And they're different colors.
- Batman sometimes lives there
- Pittsburgh is like Cincy, but bigger
- You can be crazy and own a farm and make 60 types of jams. And be missing the top of your middle finger
- Said crazy person can also know everything about the crow migration
- It will take you an average of 30 min to shop for the perfect winter hat in the Strip District
- Not all Cathedrals are for praying. Some are for Learning. And have crazy culture rooms.
- Beer is popular here. And everyone knows their beer.
- Scientific proof that Sally and I are in fact Yellow.
- There are many variations of Holly, like Skydiver Holly, Rafting Holly, Safari Holly, and Asian Holly
- It's cool and fun to mix random ingredients into your waffles and ice cream (Oh Yeah!)
- Apparently there's no steel business left in Pittsburgh
- Lightning Reaction is both the funnest and scariest game ever
- No matter how many times I try, I can't do coffee
I'ma visit you when it's warm some time...
