Our trip to Pittsburgh was great! Of course the funeral was sad, but Antonio was able to catch up with family he hasn't seen in years and I was able to finally meet everyone.

Antonio's grandparents owned a bar in Tarentum, PA, and lived above the bar for something like 45 years. His dad, aunt, and uncles were raised there, so we had to go check out the bar. Luckily, Antonio's family knows the current bar owner, so she let us go check out the apartment above.

I was really expecting Pittsburgh to be completely dirty and Steamtown-y, but it was absolutely beautiful and charming. After the funeral was over, we went out exploring in Pittsburgh and found some amazing authentic Irish and German pubs.

It was a great trip, but we are both so happy to be back home. Antonio keeps saying he never wants to leave the house ever again, and I very much agree! :)
I love that you and Antonio are so adventurous IE you asked the owner to see the old apartment instead of just wishing to see it and not asking. Which is probably what I would have done. Also, the Claddagh Pub.. I want to go to there. I may want to live to there forever and ever.
