Good night... err, morning, Pittsburgh and beyond!

It's approaching 3:30 a.m. ... We sisters are finally clearing out of the cafe downstairs in the Residence Inn where, in just a couple of hours, we suppose they'll be putting out breakfast. ... Haha, the nice manager who tolerated our tired, but bubbly and talkative Phi Sig selves so well through these wee hours of the morning just passed our table and opened the kitchen, presumably to start making the food! Where did the hours go since the opening ceremonies?! Holy cow, when DO we have to be up in the morning???

We could have spent the night exploring the town, maybe. Or we could have spent it upstairs watching TV, or who knows what. There are a ton of Phi Sigs in Pitt, some 120+ strong (almost as large as Team Philadelphia, with 140+ members - the largest group of athletes here!). We wanted, instead, to be a part of the blogging experience - to help you to see and hear what we see. The sisterhood, the emotional highs, the mundane and the miraculous.

Our "first shift" of early-rising sisters should be blogging in a few. Here's to a GREAT NEW DAY and a great way to welcome the athletic events to come.

Signing off, 3:41 a.m. from Pittsburgh, Pa.!
