Pittsburgh, 2nd day....

So for the 2nd day our main destinations were centered around U of Pittsburgh. Carnegie Mellon also has some campus sites around the same place....

Tried to take a better picture of Cathedral of Learning and Heinz Memorial Chapel compared to the one in AAA tour guide....

Heinz memorial chapel from across the street....

Colorful dinosaur....

I guess that small old house is part of the original houses that was on the site where they built Cathedral of Learning....Billy said we should pretend it's our newly bought summer property...right....I would not want one like that....

Took a photo of their music hall that is part of Carnegie Mellon campus. I just don't know why there would be a dinosaur in front of the building. I thought it's like the natural history museum or something....hahahaha

At the door of Cathedral of Learning.....

We went to the high floors to check out the view....through the windows you can actually get views of Pittsburgh....

So I guess people actually "learn" here...lol

King and Queen....and the chair next to me was supposed to be for prince Hades....just need to photoshop later on....

Pretty cool ceiling huh....

I liked that gate a lot but could not manage to catch it when nobody was around....

Here are photos of the Heinz chapel....It's actually pretty small but nicely built I guess....at least things look nice in the photos....:)



We thought about going to Phipps Conservatory....but then I guess tickets were kinda pricey and everything was in the green houses....We took a picture with it...and left....hahahahaha...oh plus we didn't coins for the parking....:p

We went to Mt. Washington to get a view of the whole Pittsburgh. Weather wasn't all that good when we went there and parking was really hard to find. I think we only spent like 10 min there just for taking photos....

I am not sure if George Washington and the Indian guy liked it when we interrupted them....

For dinner we found this really cool restaurant that was located in an ex-church (baptist) building.....

Quite an odd feeling to walk into a church and see a brewing machine right where the stage used to be....

That is the bar for beer I guess...

Spinach dip and our beers. My beer was kinda interesting cuz it was the award winning summer only Lavender summer ale (the dark one is mine)....I know....Lavender flavored beer????

I thought the waitress took 2 photos for us but apparently the 2nd one was missing....oh well....

Billy's "Kobe" beef sandwich and my crab cake again.....

We tried to stop at downtown to see if we can take some photos, but the parking was crazy expensive and traffic was really bad....so at the end we gave up and I took this photo of Alcoa building from the car....oh well....end of 2nd day :)
