Strip District etc. with the Wingates

Yesterday the Wingates stopped by from NJ. We were able to show them our new home, and then take them around Pittsburgh to see the sights. Here's a little video I took with my digital camera of the view from Mount Washington. (It's blank until you click on the play button.)

We also stopped at Wholey's to show them the fresh fish market. Betty thought it was so cool. She loves fish. We also went through the Pennsylvania Macaroni store and enjoyed the smells and bazillion kinds of pasta and nuts and olive oils. The Prestogeorgeo Coffee Store was a breath of fresh air too. Lunch at Primanti Bros. was a big hit !

We finished the Strip Districe tour with coffee at the 21st Street Cafe and had a lesson 101 on fine coffee from owner Alexis and her brother D.J. Pictured here

Here we are with Alexis. Her description of how "iced coffee" is brewed added to the rich flavor of their outstanding coffee. Our out of twon friends said it was the best they'd ever had and one of the highlights of their visit to Pittsburgh. Awesome
