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). Bridges just get on already I almost got fussed at for holding up the entry line trying to take pictures. Oops! I'm a photography nerd, what can I say?

While I totally do not condone the use of controlled substances to deal with everyday (or monthly) problems, I really could not resist this adorable cappuccino. I had some pretty serious "I could lay down on the ground (despite my OCD) and take a nap" type fatigue going on and really needed help to get through the day. If you suffer from fatigue you know what I'm talking about. It's the kind that is not solved with 8 hours of sleep. Sometimes 10 hours doesn't help either. But truthfully I get insomnia when I get fatigue (love those monthly gifts) add ina busy schedule and I was beat like a pinata. But this lovely, tasty cup of indulgence powered me through the work day. Soy milk cap with a shot of almond syrup. Oh. Yeah. Baby. And now for a touch of randomness....
