ROAD TRIP: Day 4 - Fallingwater

From Pittsburgh to the Historic Summit Inn the road meanders, zig zags with sharp curves, hilly. I expected a bright resort but it turns out to be more of an old hotel, “dingy” David calls it. We have the last room in the corridor that leads to the parking lot. “ The Expedia room” proclaims David. We are surrounded by trees - pines, sycamores, thick with all manners of green.

Last night we stayed in for dinner because it rained, got chilly. My eggplant Parmesan was acceptable. David’s blackened tuna steak was better but the rolls appeared unbaked and “doughy”. I was looking forward to the pool but !alas! the weather did not collaborate. Rats!

This morning Fallingwater! Don’t miss it! Out of this world. Stupendous horizontals, jutting out into the landscape like floating in air. Windows and windows to gaze at water, vegetation. Everything is small, ala Wright’s height. (Photos to come.)

Tomorrow we drive to the nation’s capital.
