Traveling A Go-Go...








Man what a weekend..

Last Friday at about 6pm, my roommates walks in the door from work and says..."Let's go to Pittsburgh!"

So by 12am, and about 5 hours of traveling on the road, we strolled into the Pitt.

With no place to stay for the weekend, and only a few hours left of party time, we decided to B-Line it to the the bars. We were in search of the Shadyside district so after we spent some time downtown and near Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh (lets just say about an hour of toiling around aimlessly) we happened upon the district. A quick charge of clothes on the street and we were in the bar called 1508.

Though afraid that Pittsburgh clubs closed at a shocking 1am, we indulged a bit faster than we would have normally have done only to find out that 2am was the bewitching hour and that there was a great after hours spot downtown. So we hoped in a cab and checked out the second spot called The Saloon.

Finding a place to rest our wearing head after the travel and the libations was not very hard to find. We definitely needed rest for the next day's adventure.

The only reason that we decided to travel 5 hours was that my roommate wanted to purchase a Honda Ruckus so that he did not have to drive his behemoth of a truck to and from his full time job as a consultants but could still use his truck for landscaping jobs.

Here are is a pic of the new ride (behind the larger bike):



After a brunch at this great eatery called Hot and a long ( and I do mean long) nap in the hotel room, we eat at an OK Thai place called That Thai Place (appropriately named) before we headed out to 5801 again.

Great times and new experiences. I wonder where I will be travelling to next...
