Two weeks ago I officially became a Pittsburgher. It is a transition I have been looking forward to and anticipating for some time now, and its execution has gone seamlessly! I am working at a natural foods store, getting to know my way around this ridiculously hilly and confusing city, and loving being reunited with all my best pals.
More on all that will come later... but for now here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Sunday and Monday were the first two days I had off from work since I moved, and were filled with birthday celebrations, a sunny trip to the phipps conservatory (including baby plant souvenirs), and time spent hanging out at Jennas place of employment... The Union Project. Conveniently located a few blocks from home, it has already become one my favorite places to spend time. We worked on grouting a big mosiac that was made on MLK day by kids from the community. Jenna then had to run off to teach little chillins ceramics while I stuck around for the weekly Zumba class. I have decided that dancing to latin/hip hop music with middle aged african american women is the best way to exercise ever. Jenna, Elisabeth, Ali and I are also taking a stained glass restoration class there once a week.
