Tue June 5 - We set out this morning heading westward through the rolling farmland of Pennsylvania. We wove through the Allegheny Mountains, and several looooonng tunnels. We made a slight detour (and several circles through downtown) to Pittsburgh to pick up our Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts. We were amused to see that Pittsburgh had two funicular (elevated tram cablecars on their hills) just like the one in Orvieto, Italy. We also discovered that natives of Pittsburgh call themselves (no joke) Pittsburghers.
Heading west into Ohio, (after a brief 10 minute passage through West Virginia) we drove though more farmland and lake country. After arriving at our next stop, our friends took us to an Amish restaurant - great broasted chicken, and especially good was the peanut butter/honey spread they had on the tables.
It's pretty out there! A little monotonous at times, but Western PA is nice.
