At the end of the summer Juha's brother, Juuso came to visit us. At the end of his two week trip, we made a road trip to the States together with Kevin and Eileen. First, we had THE Buffalo wings at the Anchor bar in Buffalo (although to us St. Louis has still the best wings). From Buffalo we drove the interstate to Cleveland and spent the night in a cheap motel somewhere in Dunkirk Fredonia...
The next day we continued to Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland has an old town with a farmer's market, where we hung out the whole afternoon. After the old town, we went to see the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame and the Baseball stadium. We decided to stay the night in a fancy hotel and party a bit that night. However I had a really bad flu and stayed in after dinner. The others continued to explore the night life of Cleveland (which disappointed everyone a bit).
The next morning we continued our road trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On our way we made a pit stop at a fashion outlet, where everyone found something. It was late in the afternoon when we arrived in Pittsburgh and we decided to go up the Duquesne incline. On top we had some amazing views over the city and its rivers. We were really surprised to see how quiet down town was on a Sunday evening. We took some great pics at sunset near the river and after we went to look for a nice place to have dinner. There was this little square with restaurants, but all of them were full. In the end we had some pub food and decided down town Pittsburgh was no fun. We decided to already drive a bit back to Toronto that night, so the next day we would make it on time to the airport for Juuso's flight back home.
After again a hotel night somewhere in the middle of nowhere we accidentally decided to drive back some smaller roads, however with beautiful scenery. It did slow us down a bit and so a quick stop in Buffalo for lunch and no time for duty free shopping at the border.
We had a lot of fun and it was great to see again some different states in the USA.
