Pittsburgh 2005

The Pure Life (Home)

(1) A few hours after landing in Pittsburgh, Borchadt,
Jerome, and I watched the Bucs play the Reds.

(2) It was a little rainy, but PNC Park is still
one of America's top five baseball stadiums.

(3) The next day didn't bring us any better weather, so we just drove
around the city checking out the bridges and universities.

(4) Me and my new friend, Jill, after a night at the southside bars.

(5) The next morning was Colorado revisited. Back when Jerome
and I used to live in Denver, this was an all too common scene.

(6) Amazingly, my last day had some great weather. More
amazingly, however, was the fact that Jerome and I
actually peeled ourselves off the couch.

(7) Pittsburgh: A City of Bridges

(8) On the banks of the Allegheny River, Jerome and I
further defied all odds by not only stepping away
from the couches, but also by doing something that required
about an ounce of physical exertion. While the Pirates finished
off the weekend series with the Reds, we took to
kayaking outside the stadium.

(9) Jerome - explained without words.

(10) Heinz Field - Home of the Terrible Towel.

(11) Breakfast downtown: $20. Kayak rental: $14. Spending an hour
on the river without burning a single calorie: priceless.

(12) The Point - Where the Ohio, Allegheny, and
Monongahela Rivers meet.
