Road Trip

I was in Pittsburgh this weekend for an audition and during the car ride a bunch of us were discussing the landscape of Pittsburgh and its outskirts. Its funny that the three things you will find there are bridges, hills and car dealerships. A friend of mine had made that joke before leaving on this little road trip but in fact thats what surrounds the outskirts. Its also interesting to take a look on how the homes are just stuck into the landscape as if inserted into the side of large hills. I was looking out of the window during the drive into actual Pittsburgh specifically Point Park University and the homes looked as though they were cascading down the large hills that made up the landscape. Its not the kind of driving for the easily car sick the roads are up and down and a rather steep up and down. Also in the car ride we got into a discussion about tunnels because one of the girls in the car had never driven in a tunnel before. It got me thinking about how many things we drive through or on that I never think of but are different in other parts of the U.S. Then it made me think to go or leave from Webster I drive on a bridge over water every single day. How many people never drive on bridges except when outside of their living areas on trips and such. Its so strange what we never really think about when it comes to the landscape we are used to until we are placed into another unfamiliar place. ps. Sheets = the best gas station ever thank you Pennsylvania.
