reason for the trip ~ All photos (embiggenable)
BACK HOME AFTER OUR 1200 MILE INTERSTATE HWY trek–the wife and I departed 3PM Thursday last, returned 7PM Sunday–to Pittsburgh and back home again. Stayed in a apt/condo in a converted church and checked off all but one of the must-dos on my list …. watched the Fighting Irish trounce the Pitt Panthers, ate the mandatory Primanti Bros. sandwich (meat+cheese+fries+cole slaw+2 slices of tomato all sandwiched between fresh, thick slices of Italian bread), dinner at Max’s Allegheny Tavern (a favorite)–German / Bavarian food (had 5 potato pancakes with my meal), and beers at a neighborhood “dive” bar. Didn’t make to my favorite cigar shop. Thrown in for good measure–in fact, very good measure–there was diner and an evening with a couple good friends and enjoying the company of our grandson from the moment we arrived in Pittsburgh until the moment we left–he stayed with us after he drove over from West Virginia where is attending college.
Making photographs was very much a catch-as-catch-can undertaking. There was too much going on to take a picture making walk about. What is posted here is pretty much the sum of it.
