Our stay in Pittsburgh took us on a navigational nightmare through downtown. GPS kept telling us to go one way, but roadblocks for the St Patrick's Day Parade kept rerouting us. Luckily, we finally made our way to the Carnegie Art and Natural History Museum. After spending several hours there, we left to find food. We ate a late lunch at De Luca's Diner. I ate pierogi! It was not what I was expecting (mashed potatoes wrapped in a pancake?), but it was tasty! We walked around in The Strip district and enjoyed seeing all the people out and about decorated in green.

From Urn of Life (marble) - "[This group] represents the silent, inward voice which inspires us to nobler efforts. The winged harp symbolizes the music of the soul." -- George Grey Barnard
Harbor Mole (oil on canvas) by Lyonel Feininger
War Bride (oil on canvas) by Clarence Holbrook Carter "...an extraordinary confrontation of implacable machinery and frail humanity, is a timeless distillation of the anxiety and loneliness of those [WWII] war-torn years."
And to top the day off, we ate at Mad Mex with my first cousin, Elaine and her husband Charles and three of their six children - Mary, William, and Sam.
