Food(less) Journey

strange angle of the city Okay so I kow this is not the best angle of the city or the most popular. BUT (That was a big but in case you missed it..lol) I love how the slope of the off ramp illustrates the slopes and hills found all over the area contrasted with the apparent flatness of the downtown area. Something about Florence that reminded me of home was this juxtaposition and now that I'm home this reminds me of Florence. But it is something I love about Pittsburgh: constant altitude changing. Driving around you don't always get a sense of how much you are going up and down hill, but when you walk as much as i do you feel the change in your calf's (or is it calves).
