Pittsburgh May 2007: Day Two: Fallingwater

After the TMBG Show, we did a video podcast for our 200th episode on Oh My Pod! and washed the gel out of our hair. That was a trip. BLUE everywhere in the shower!

Thursday, we had big plans. We had planned to see Fallingwater. Fallingwater is a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright. It sits on top of a waterfall. I’ve always wanted to see it and while we were in the area… it seemed a great idea.

It was about an hour away from the hotel and it was a fun drive. The house itself was amazing. It is both small and large at the same time. Pinoyboy had mentioned to me that Wright had a habit of designing small spaces that opened into bigger spaces and falling water is just that. Hallways are small, but open to large living spaces, the ceilings are low to draw your eye to the expansive open spaces of the surrounding woods.

We took the last tour of the day, a decision that was one the best of the trip. Our tour of the house was just us and one stranger. That was great because we got much more time to look around and the tour was much more personal. We had such a great time.
