Spring Break in Cleveland: Day 2, Part C

We still wanted to explore Cleveland by night (at least, those areas in which we wouldn't get shot), and we were ready for a little dessert. The cajun place Cristen wanted to take us to originally closed at 10 on Sunday (seriously, what restaurant closes that early?), so we ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe, which was awesome because I wanted to get a picture of that huge guitar all lit up with neon anyway.

One of our first stops was this beautiful church. Cleveland seriously has its share of churches.

Then we walked over to the Soldiers and the Mariners Memorial. A peace rally was happening right on the sidewalks, too, but we didn't join them (although, we're all for peace).

Ok, we did drive around just a little bit in the dangerous part of town because we wanted to see the bridges, but don't worry - we stayed locked up in the car and just took quick pictures out the window.

Oh look, another church!

And of course, the I.M. Pei's glass Rock Hall looked awesome at night.

I liked the rays the large overhead lights created when I took this pic of Cleveland.

Sadly, this was our last glimpse of Cleveland. The next morning, Erica and I would head back to Lafayette via a short sidetrip to Columbus, OH! Stay tuned for pictures from that adventure.
