Cool toes

Lunch time walks these days, since the company has crossed the Allegheny and planted itself on the North Shore, mean lots of proximity to water. The path along the river is truly nice and very walkable. You could be strolling along the waterfront for hours, if you weren't paying attention.

You can boat, too. I haven't been kayaking yet but hope to before September ends. Venture Outdoors has a livery right below the Roberto Clemente bridg. Lots of boats for cheap.

What I have been enjoying is/are the water steps outside PNC Park. There are very specific warning signs (Slippery! Danger!) but they are universally disregarded in the summer months. Kids, teens, tweens, grownups, passersby with their dogs, everyone wades in and splashes about. But now that the days are waning, not too many people. Only water.


I wander over and slip off my shoes and cool my feet under the slanting September sun.
