Here we are in Butler, Pennsylvania

Now in Butler, Pennsylvania. Arrived on Saturday into Pittsburgh where they were celebrating their 250 year anniversary. We were greated with a concert down by the river with Jazz playing and stalls of food where you could get all sorts, including fried zucchini's and deep fried oreo's! We were also interviewed by Pittsburgh TV, and asked what we thought about Pittsburgh being 250 years old, umm really good, congratulations - what do you say? Pretty cool though. We wandered around through the city, and walked through Market Square to a beautiful achitectured city block of glass buildings. I got my camera and did a 30sec scan of the buildings before I had a security guard come over and sternly say, Madam, please keep your camera at eye level only, do not photograph the buildings! They mean business.

Headed off to Butler late in the day, and got into town about 8pm checking into the local Days Inn, where when we told the waitress we were from Melbourne, she gave a strange look and said, what the hell are you doing here! Explained that Jeannie and I had been writing for 20 years and never met, and this was where she lived, and was excited to be here. She explained that there were 6 things to do in Butler, get drunk, get saved, get drunk, get saved, get drunk, get saved - there is one bar to every church.

Crazy night at the Days Inn with a wedding in the reception centre, and guests having fights in the hallway from 2-4.30am. Pete slept through the whole thing ... he was counting on getting saved in the morning.

Bill & Jeannie met us in the morning at the hotel and it was very exciting to finally meet. Headed off to a great breakfast and was shown around the other things to do in Butler for the rest of the day, including going to a winery - my cup of tea. I think we might need more saving.

Today we are going to do a little more exploring with Bill & Jeannie, and will be heading off very early for our flight to New York.

Off to not get saved. Bec & Pete
