sunny Seattle!

Ahoy,

I had forgotten how exciting it is to be in a brand new city. It's as if you have the whole world before you and you haven't seen any of it. It's indescribable. This past weekend was full of food and exploration in Seattle. The weather was divine, which I'm told was a rarity because it was gloomy for forever before our arrival. But that's something I love about Seattle, that the weather is its own character. Like that no good uncle at family gatherings that is just there for comic relief, but you must deal with him and bring him food, regardless.

My travel buddies got wired on java daily, throughout the day. All caffeine, all the time! Your blood sugar level won't know what hit it! In addition to the plethora of coffee I was swimming in, I feel it's also important to note the land and sea of plaid that was abundant like a fresh summer crop. But I'm told this is year round. There are places I feel out of place for demographic reasons, but rarely do I feel out of place for stylistic choices.

As is included in any trip, a survey of the local climbing gym. They were ginormous! There was a slide! There was a pirate ship! There was endless amounts of fun! Alas, life is not all about pirate ships, there must be a place to sail it. Having been adjacent to water my whole life, I would settle for nothing less than a puddle. We borrowed a rowboat and shimmied our way around the swampy depths of alligator free water.

The best of all worlds indoors and outdoors, Seattle has so much to do and so much to eat. I can't wait to go back!
