So today has been a good day! We slept in and spent the morning doing a little research to figure out where we were going to go. We went back to the airport and and picked up a rental car. We are now the temporoary owners of a maroon Saturn Ion! Wooohooo!
It is beautiful out here. I would move here in a second just for the green trees and the beautiful hills. But on the otherhand, I would be lost on a daily basis. It was fun to drive around and tour Pittsburgh... but it seems the roads are crazy!! Not the drivers, just the roads. We would be going somewhere get lost and end up in the exact same spot 5 minutes later... no idea how we got there... but at least it's easy to back track. We went to downtown and drove around. There are a lot of neat buildings and bridges! It was super fun! On the way to Pittsburgh... we saw a Primanti Brothers. On the flight over, the kid in front of us told us about the best place to eat in Pittsburgh and that was it... so we went. It was.... nothin' great. I don't know if I ordered the wrong thing or I don't like fries on my sandwich. But it was bland and just tasted like I was eating a potato. Maybe I just chose the wrong one to go to, I have no idea. But not to great! Oh well. Maybe we will try again. Maybe not.
We also went to Costco and bought some food to eat until Sunday. It was so EMPTY. Seems like you go to Costco in Utah and you are concerned about being trampled. Here.... it was so quiet and peaceful. So nice!
We have seen numerous road signs that cracked me up. One said something about "Don't get a DUI, you can't afford it!" (it was a road sign like a mileage sign) and the other one was a catering service called Nappies. And the logo was "You'll be happy with Nappie". I have no idea why, but I got a kick out of it.
So we decided here you have to be quick thinkers to drive and get around. It seems like most of the signs are right above the turn off and of course there are three choices... by the time you read the first sign, you have to choose. Crazy. I mean I am sure once you lived here, it wouldn't be big deal. But it is not a city that is easy to get around in. The other problem is that there are random stop lights all over, but here is the kicker... they are tucked back in the trees or on the opposite corner. You have to actively look for the lights. Otherwise you run them!
Here is a random Cemetery. We thought it was funny that it was on a hill. Pretty cool.
This is the shopping center that we can see from our Hotel. But getting over there is another story... and getting back... well it took us a loop but we finally figured it out! YA!! GO US!!
