Evening drive around Pittsburgh

I arrived at my friend Nadine's house near Pittsburgh on the evening of May 15 to prepare for our caravan to the Olympic National Park WA. Her son Andrew took us on a brief drive through the city in the evening, stopping at the Mount Washington overlook for the beautiful views below, as well as the Point where the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers meet.

Another fascinating feature was the Duquesne Incline a historic cable car that took coal miners from town to the top of Mount Washington. The cable cars were restored and put back into action for visitors. There was a small museum at the station that displayed the history of the incline and we were able to go around to see the cables in action.

We drove over a few of the many bridges in Pittsburgh and passed by some universities: University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon and Duquesne University before having dinner at Morcilla, a Spanish tapas restaurant with really good food.
