We had a chance a week before school started to finally sight see in Pittsburgh, about time right, after living here for over a year! We bought a few tickets on groupon for a river boat tour called the gateway clipper. If your asking why Duncan and I seem so dumb struck, it's because we got a coupon for a free prize out of the treasure chest, and it was this lame paper hat! The nerve of some people, right? Overall we had a good time though.
This is Duncan pointing as we went over the first bridge of the tour. Pittsburgh is called the city of bridges #1 because it's surrounded by rivers and #2 because there are so many hill and valleys in Pittsburgh. There are Currently around 446 Bridges within the city limits.
There was a little girl about Duncans age on the boat, they hit it off pretty well, this could have been the sequel to Titanic!
Here we are on the boat with the city in the background, it really is a pretty neat city, we just don't see it very often because we live a few miles down the road, and there is so much traffic and not enough parking.

These bridges are some of the only identical bridges in Pittsburgh.
This is Heinz stadium, right on the river, where the Steelers and the Pittsburgh Panthers play.
