Pittsburgh

Yesterday, September 10th, five of us (two Americans, two Norwegians and one Pole) drove to Pittsburgh. First we went to Kevin's house where his dad made us hamburgers. We got to see a real American home, in a real American suburb! Just like in the movies.

Then Kevin took us up to Mount Washington which has a great view of the city. Pittsburgh is such a cool place! If you look closely, you can even see that there was a rainbow over the city! Perfect timing!

After that we spent some time on a parking lot drinking beers. This is called tailgating. It felt very American, especially since the parking lot was located right between the football stadium and the baseball stadium.

And then we went to the baseball game! I didn't understand much, but I still really loved being there. Also, Kevin got some really, really good tickets from some people who were leaving, and he gave them to me and Sindre. So when we got to our new seats, I actually understood baseball a bit more than before! We sat just to the left of the batter, front row! The baseballs were flying everywhere, and at the end of the game we were this close to getting the bat that one of the players threw up to us! And we almost caught balls a lot of the time too! Maybe we'll actually catch one next time.

At the end of the game there was a great firework show! I've never seen a firework show this long or this awesome! I filmed it for you.
