In the morning we visited Mount Washington which affords spectacular views of Downtown Pittsburgh. We rode the Monongahela incline down to Station Square where we had brunch at The Grand Concourse, located in the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Train Station. After an afternoon visit to the Oakland District, home to The University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University and Schenley Park, we headed to Heinz Field where Dick and Torey hosted a great tailgate party before the ND-Pitt game which, sadly, the Irish lost.

Robert Burns Statue

Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English. After his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism, and a cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish Diaspora around the world. Celebration of his life and work became almost a national charismatic cult during the 19th and 20th centuries.
