Pittsburgh Jul 04

Jul 04 in Pittsburgh found us making a trip to a vantage point overlooking the main river in Pitts to see the fireworks. Obtaining a parking was like earning the right to see the show. It was certainly the best display of fireworks I have ever seen.

On Jul 04, Anita , Antrix and me drove down to Pankaj's place at Pittsburgh. I always enjoy the trip and this one was more so as it was almost after a gap of a year. What was shocking was "Terry Fox" look that we got from Shalini. I believe, Shalini spurred on by the Euro 2008 ended up in injuring her knee. She now wears an impressive wrapping on her legs....

Neil/ Varun ( not sure which name is in vouge currently) had added a few inches to his teenage frame and most conspicious was the missing fuzz on his face, indications of Neil having taken on the daily chore of shaving. Also it was great to see his excitement as he handled his new MacPro laptop -- a rightfully earned gift for having cleared the tests for a more challenging course of study in his high school.

During the day we engaged a bunch of activities .. .like bird watching.....

& stepping out with the best foot forward

& finally lunch at Ohio Pyle where we dug into watermelons/ sandwitche & salad
