I extended the trip by a week, so will only get home on Friday.
Trip has been going good so far. Β Lots of work at work and a little bit of fun on the weekend, it's not really much fun doing stuff on my own, so I haven't gone out much to see things (and I've seen most of the sights on previous trips already). Β It is not that cold any more, temperatures are above freezing now during the day. Β All the snow has disappeared

Pity about the snow! Β I hope work is fun as well then, if it's mostly workΒ

I was amazed how quickly it went, in two days it went from white to brown.
It's good, I enjoy the office where I am working, the bad part is really when it comes to dinner, going out on my own is not terribly exciting. Β Two more sleeps and I'll be on a plane (actually several)

Speaking as a mother of two little kids, I find the prospect of eating on my own terribly exciting - but I can see your point

Different perspective
But I understand, at home I enjoy being alone for dinner every now and again and there are not even any kids at our home! Β But that's eating at home not having to think about which restaurant/pub to go to for dinner.

And temperatures were quite similar for a while, down to about -20 C on the worst of the days. Β Now it has gone up to just above zero and it will get to +13 C later in the week!

I'm glad it's in the positives again
All the snow is gone now, took about two days. Β It looks very sad.

Thanks Mariela, yes the camera does a pretty good job too.
I've got some others where I would like to play around a bit and see whether I can get a bit more out of them.

Et un autre pont de Pitt, il avait de mal temps quand j'avais pris cette photo. Β J'espere qu'il va faire mieux avant que je retourne a l'Australie:

Oui c'est un beau pont.
Il y a beaucoup de ponts a Pittsburgh, ceci est devant mon hotel.
