What an amazing city! The city forms where two rivers meet, and is connected up by many bridges. You can take a cable car (Incline) up Mount Washington, to look out over the grand view. Originally built for the 18th century coal and steel workers .High tech skyscrapers stand side by side with 18th century churches and gaol and court houses. Beautiful architecture, and many art deco buildings. The perfect city to have a day off, to wander and marvel at the sights. Unfortunately, most of the museums and theatres were closed on Mondays, so we had to ogle through the glass at the lavish playhouses and concert halls. I think Maceys also did very well from our visit!
Off to Niagra today! Can't wait to see the falls.
Last day of being in the USA - we are all hoping the sugar content will reduce in Canadian food.
Cheerio for now!

Enjoy the last few (hours, days?) you can in the fair city of my birth! Emma, that picture of you standing up on the observation deck above the Incline on Mt. Washington must have been taken less than a few blocks from my Aunt & Uncle's house. Did you get a Primanti Bros. sandwich? The most decadent thing this side of a Philly Cheesesteak. I'm glad Steel City treated you so well and wish you the very best on the rest of your travels. You are all missed and remembered fondly here in the Shenandoah!
Yours,
