we have done quite a bit since we got here last sunday (including a trip to niagara falls in the middle of last week). we found some amazing grocery stores (hooray for giant eagle and whole foods), eaten at some great restaurants (joe mamas, primanti brothers, roxies, and dave and andy's ice cream), gone to two city parks, and visited some incredible churches (shadyside presbyterian and the open door). here is a list of places we want to see and things that we want to do in the next few weeks. we will be updating you as we do them. hopefully some of you can come up and visit soon and participate in the city exploration.
