Return Trip - Day 48 - Pittsburgh, PA

Avast! -- it's Eric. Carson and I saw the Pirates game today here in sunny, 90-degree Steel City. The mighty Nationals (of Paris-on-the-Potomac) threatened in the late innings, but Pittsburgh pulled through. I'm actually looking at the ballpark through our hotel window as I type this; we had the foresight to book a place RIGHT NEXT TO the stadium (and of course, as Triple Platinum Ultra-Elite Premier Diamond-Diamond guests, we were put on the top floor and allowed to check in at 10:30 AM).

Short(er) drive this morning from Columbus, and we even had time to stroll around downtown before the 12:35 game, stopping for a surprisingly good Indian lunch. After the game, we found some Mediterranean dinner in Squirrel Hill, packed up our stuff, headed out for a sunset run, and are now enjoying the last night of Bike Trip '08. Tomorrow: an all-day drive back to the People's Republic of Cambridge. But first, tonight: will the Celtics win Game Four? As of halftime... doesn't look promising!
