For some reason, I seem to only see the east coast in the dead of winter. And my seventh trip or so to the east was, like the others, freakishly cold. I started off in Philadelphia to stay with Steve who gave me the grand tour of the town: Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell (no, I did not lick it but the thought did cross my mind), cheese steaks at Pat’s (wit, with whiz), the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Rocky Steps and last, but certainly not least… Morimotos. mmmm… kobe beef carparccio.

After two days in Philly, I headed off to Pittsburgh to visit Dave who showed me around CMU. I was lucky enough to visit on one of the coldest days they’ve seen all winter. It was 6 degrees and it felt like it. Played some volleyball, suited up, ate some good thai food, more cheese steaks, hung out with Jai and bought some chocolate covered bacon. Yeah… it tastes just like it sounds - very odd. If there’s one thing that visiting in the dead of winter taught me was that I’m sure I could survive the cold there. Whether or not I’ll have to the next couple years, well that has yet to be decided.
