Ok, it's not a slide show, but there are too many pictures here to inflict on another entry, so here goes:


Our lovely and patient hosts.

friends: can't decide which pic I like better tho }:P





I didn't get good pictures of Tha Brutha Man. Either the other subjects in the picture were too intergral but refusing to come out right, or he wasn't coming out right.

Oh well I got a picture of the chalkboard from his office at CMU:



From the campus of the CMU (the building on the left is the physics department, I believe) to the Cathedral of Education at Pitt. This astounding spire of a building can be seen from pratically anywhere in Pittsburgh. It's um... HUGE.


This is a tiny section of the lab that Faith works in on Sundays. The whole thing is pretty cool. Not so picturesque (and they don't like flash pictures which my camera kept insisting on), but still neat.


Downtown Pittsburgh from the vantage of Mt Washington. wwaaaayyyy far off and to the right you can see Pitt's Cathedral.

Pittsburgh has some amazing architecture. I was most taken with the houses of worship. They are truly beautiful.


Know what I've decided? I've decided Byzantine churches are Awesome!


I'm sad for this picture because I just couldn't get the whole temple to fit into one picture without some tragic flaw. This is the best I could get from the front. *sigh*

Finally: Visitors to Pittsburgh often get the impression that Andrew Carnegie pretty much built the town by himself. It's almost true. He had a big thing for castles and so a lot of buildings follow that ideal. But sometimes you don't know why.


Er...cause sometimes you just need a tower. Though Lord knows why.
