Our five transcontinental students from Germany arrived at Pittsburgh International Airport at about 7:30 PM yesterday evening. With the time difference, their brains were telling them that it was 1:30 AM!At Pittsburgh International Airport, next to the Bayer "Making Science Make Sense" exhibit.

Florian, Imke, Martin, Leonie and Moritz were greeted by a hot and humid evening in Pittsburgh. Saturday's forecast is for a high temperature of 90 F with high humidity. Who needs to visit the tropics when you can visit Pittsburgh?
Today is Saturday, and the schedule is relaxed and fun. As I type this, the Bayer Climate Fellows Sustainability Campers are on board the RiverQuest vessel Discovery enjoying a cool morning sail on the three rivers around the Golden Triangle, Pittsburgh's sparkling downtown district bordered by the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers as they meet at "the Point" to form the Ohio River.
Later today, we will ride the Duquesne Incline to Mount Washington, a neighborhood that overlooks the Golden Triangle. We'll have dinner together and enjoy the scenic overlooks that show off "America's Most Livable City." Tomorrow, our camp leaders Megan and Brandon will accompany the group to Allegheny College in Meadville, PA, for the start of a very busy week of science, nature, and fun.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
