2015-08-04 Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright
We looked hopefully for Indian breakfast instead of the premade quite boring American one, but unfortunately we didn’t get to taste any of the homemade food put on the owner’s table. We got to sit outside which somewhat compensated us.
At 10.00 we were at the Christmas Shop very close to the hotel, http://www.thechristmasshop-chalkhill.com/History.html. The history of the house is very interesting but unless you are very interested in Christmas stuff the shop is nothing special. I got to buy my first Christmas present, though….
We drove through Ohiopyle State Park and were at Fallingwater by 10.30. A pre-booked tour was on at 11.00, http://www.fallingwater.org/. Fallingwater is the most famous private house made by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The most famous is of course the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
I must say I loved everything about it. The house is amazing. The tour was very well performed. The shop is great (but not cheap). The food is the best food I have had here so far (ordinary salad with real cutlery, no take away). Huge parking space. Wonderful scenery. Quiet. And again, the house is amazing.
First place I bought a book this holiday. Ingrid and I discussed why it is not a world heritage place?
Hope you’ll enjoy the pictures. If you have a chance, go there.
All the pictures with me in them are taken by Ingrid. Thank you, Ingrid, for a wonderful trip and a lot of new impressions.
