A Pittsburgh Christmas

I had a great Xmas this year in Pittsburgh, the city where my parents attended college and where I was born. My aunt Priscilla graciously invited me, my brother, and my dad out to spend the holiday at her house. She has three girls in college, each one as unique as can be. It was great to see them all and catch up on all the goings-on in everyone's lives. Pittsburgh is an interesting town - gritty, rusty, and industrial. Adding to the city's character is a smattering of large gothic cathedrals that utterly dominate the horizon. Below is a picture of Chatham college, which my mother attended; one of the monstrous churches that I believe is called the "Cathedral of Doom"; and the cutest picture of Priscilla's dog Charger amidst grandma's knitting supplies.

I will not include a link to Marc's photo set because he has posted some pictures of me acting like a dog. It was the wine, I swear.
