PITTSBURGH PA


Last night after 12+ hours on the road, we arrived in Bethel Park at Matthew and Angie's home. We're here for Isaac's second  birthday and Caleb's baptism on Sunday.

Today, while Karol took care of the two boys, Matthew and I went down to "The Strip," a downtown fish and produce market. Other shops and restaurants are also located in this old area. While walking, I ate a "Mung Bean Pancake" and later had an iced coffee. Had lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant and, after picking up Angie after her half day at work, we drove up Mt. Washington to catch the view.

Pittsburgh is a beautiful city, located at the convergence of the Alleghany and Monongahela Rivers, creating the Ohio River at the point of their convergence. The downtown is located on a peninsula between the two rivers.
Matthew enjoys a vermacelli dish after downing one of his two spring rolls. I've come to learn that Vietnamese restaurants are wonderful places to eat.

Enjoy the video of Isaac sitting on the deck chatting with his grandpa!

The rest of the day is "kick back." Matthew and Angie will be going to a Bible study at church tonight while Karol and I (well, really Karol) will be caring for the two boys.
