We took a short tour of the under works of the inclines. It was very cool to see all the huge wheels and motors that drive the incline.

We poked around town for a while and ended at the Phipps Conservatory. We opted not to pay to go in because it was too close to when we had to take Matt to the airport.

We ran around in the public gardens and peeked in all the windows we could.

I really liked the statue of Christopher Columbus.

Lost in wonder about Christopher Columbus.

I had a great time with Uncle Matt. I am glad he got to come visit in Ohio.
