Day Seven continued: waiting, wishing, waiting!

So today was officially a right off. After waiting 3 hours for our train to arrive in NYC, we finally were heading to Pittsburgh. The trains are actually really comfy, and very accommodating. We went thru Philly however more travel troubles lay ahead. We had to get off train at Harrisburg and get on a bus for rest of journey to Pittsburgh. Buses not so comfy or accommodating! Anyway, we finally got to our hotel in Pittsburgh around midnight. What a day!

Sadly we won't get to see anything in Pittsburgh really, which is a shame because it's a pretty town. Definitely come back and do properly!

But hey, fallingwater tomorrow! Wooh

Ps-there are a lot of places with burg or berg as a suffix here?

  1. Hi Mat been watching the blog for updates given conditions over there. Glad you made it to Fallingwater. The "berg" or "burg" thing in the name is traceble to Protestant colonials coming to that area US to escape religious persecution - burg is Germanic suffix for town, thus Pitt Town = Pittsburg etc. Are you of to
    Washington next?
