Back to the West Coast (part 1)...

No, we didn't forget about this blog. :) Although we're now a couple of weeks behind, let's catch up: after all the fun times on the East Coast, it was time to to head back home 3000 miles, all the way from Massachusetts to Seattle.

First stop was Syracuse, New York, to visit friends (thanks, Emily & Henrik & Elise!)



A very nice area to spend time outdoors....
... and, surprise: a few inches of snow in April! :-)













Next stop after making it through the snowstorm: Pittsburgh!

(Thanks for letting us crash, Patrick!)



Pittsburgh is actually really cool - nice downtown area, great to walk along the water. 

But to be honest - neither of us have heard of their baseball team "Pittsburgh Pirates" before...

















Other highlights: Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural masterpiece "Fallingwater".



Nearby was the Flight 93 National Memorial, where United flight 93 crashed on 9/11/2001.


And on a happier note: a visit to the Pittsburgh HofbrÀuhaus! Prost!

Still 2500 miles to go back to Seattle .. more in part 2.
