Snapshots from the Road

It is pouring rain and thundering right now in Niagara Falls, so I thought I'd load a few snapshots from the first leg of our trip for you. On Thursday, we drove from Savannah to Pittsburgh to meet up with Daniel's sister and her two grown sons. It was a 12-hour drive through some of the prettiest countryside! I constantly snap photos from the car and some of them even turn out pretty good. (You can click on any of them to see them bigger.)


Right after Daniel took the picture above, we went into a tunnel and when we emerged, this was the view we had of Pittsburgh!
Stunning!! Daniel lived here for a year 20-some years ago, when he studied at the Art Institute. Much had changed, but he still recognized many buildings and was happy he could finally share that part of his life with me. I found Pittsburgh to be an attractive and vibrant city and will have some more photos in my next post.

The rain is starting to clear up, which is good. Our niece's wedding is going to take place outside this afternoon. She has a plan B, but we are all hoping that the weather is going to cooperate for her!

Yesterday, when I was able to check my e-mail, I saw all your wonderful comments, which made me feel so good. I miss checking in with you all daily! For now, I hope that you are all having a relaxing weekend!
