Pennsylvania Part II - Washington, PA and Pittsburgh

During our trip for the wedding, there were many exotic and wonderful things to enjoy.

We toured Pittsburgh - the Duquesne Incline, Carnegie Mellon U/Ryan's helicopter lab, University of Pittsburgh(to visit Cassio's sister, Kerley), and Kerley's apartment and neighborhood in Squirrel Hill.  
And in Washington, we made a bonfire (complete with marshmellows and nightvision goggles to see the wild animals watching us), we met Faye (the horse), we saw Faye roll around and act crazy, we took hikes and ate a lot.

I hadn't spent time in PA in ages and it was wonderful!

MY Best Restaurant in LA



In my humble opinion, Los Balcones del Peru is the best restaurant in Los Angeles. 

Pros:
Lomo Saltado
Ceviche de Camarones
Aji sauce
giant corn!
Casqueno
fortune teller/palm reader next door
large green dumpster outside
No florescent lighting!
Affordable :)

Cons:
slow service

Pennsylvania Part I - Ryan and Denise's wedding

In May, Cassio and I went with my parents to pennsylvania to Denise and Ryan's wedding.  Here are pictures of the wedding day...which was sunny and perfect...a great surprise to those of us that know how cold and rainy it can be there in the spring.
It was an absolute joy!
