The Felger Post: Day 2- Carnegie Science Center

We set out on our second day into the city to visit the Carnegie Science Center! It was a rainy cold day and it was a little busy. We stood in line for a good 20 min outside. The main reason we went was to tour a full size submarine! To view all the pictures from today click here.

Taken on top of the sub!

Then we went into the Planetarium to watch a presentation on telescopes. It was cool!

Then we got our picture taken with Data, Hal9000, Gort, and R2D2 and 3PO!

Maria from "Metropolis" I did a study on this film in college in my favorite class in 2 years at OSU "Evolution of the Third Reich through Film and Literature"

This was a robot that you could control with a computer

After the Science Center we went on our second attempt to find the Mt. Washington overlook onto the city. The previous day we tried 2 different addresses we found online and neither took us to the right place and we ended up in the city during rush hour, were lost, and driving in circles for an hour before calling it quits and heading back to the hotel! Today we had success! Only wish we had the sunshine from yesterday.

View from Mt. Washington. Nice even on a cloudy day!

and rainy

The houses were very nice along the road with a view...

Then we went to a candy and ice cream shop called Sarrius. It was super busy being that it is Easter weekend and everyone was buying chocolate bunnies and crosses. The line went all the way through the store so we didnt buy anything.
