Pittsburgh is located in the southwest portion of the state, at the confluence of the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River, forming the Ohio River. Pittsburgh is known both as "the Steel City" for its more than 300 steel-related businesses and as the "City of Bridges" for its 446 bridges. Pittsburgh also features 30 skyscrapers, 2 incline railways, and the Point State Park at the confluence of the rivers. The region is a hub for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and energy extraction. It has 58.3 square miles of which 55.6 square miles is land and 2.8 square miles is water. The 80th meridian west passes directly through the city's downtown. The downtown is known as "the Golden Triangle". |

The two RV Gypsies drove their toad to downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to take their 28th Segway tour. They arrived a bit early, so took a few photos in the area while waiting for the tour guide, the Segways, and the other riders to arrive. |

This was a glide around waterfalls, fountains, parks, and more. But because the training of the other people took so long, they did not get to go to some of the places mentioned on the Segway website. Non-the-less, the two RV Gypsies enjoyed the tour. Since there was only one guide, and because the two RV Gypsies are experienced riders, they brought up the rear of the line, as usual. Lee Duquette likes to be last, so he is always photographing Karen Duquette's backside. |

On June 12, 2021, while eating at Tequila Cowboy's Bar and Grill, the two RV Gypsies sometimes glanced at the TV near them. They had been watching Denmark's opening game against Finland at the time. Christian Eriksen, a Danish professional Footballer (aka soccer player) was down and the game halted. The players surrounded their teammate as he lay on the ground. To protect their downed teammate, players stood with their backs to the downed player so the TV Cameras could only film them and not their downed teammate. The game was then stopped completely. Later, everyone learned that Christian Eriksen had a cardiac arrest. He was resuscitated with CPR and a defibrillator and taken to the hospital.
