The city's art museum shares facilities with the natural history museum--convenient shared entry price. We enjoyed our day at these museums very much; then found a cute campus bar and restaurant, the Union Grill I believe, close by for a gooey dinner and shared bottle of wine. Then a nice long walk back to our Air B&B on Squirrel Hill! Cooler in the evening, a perfect day for me.
Due to weather related back wash from Hurricane Gordon, our second and third days in Pittsburgh were wet. On day 2, we walked in moderate rain to cover the downtown tourist areas, took the Incline up to the Grandview area.
Geographically stunning, with the formation of the Ohio River before us.
Then rode a second Incline down to river level. The Incline is a 19th Century-flavored experience. Or European. One funny scene: as some passengers got off at the top, a tiny little girl about 5 exclaimed to her Dad "This is NOT Safe!"
Day 3 was a total wash-out. We went to Pamela's on Squirrel Hill for amazing breakfast, but it was soooooo wet with chilling rain. We spent the rest of the day in bed with our books. We never do that, so I guess it was OK for once.
