seattle

On ferry to Bainbridge Island - where I imagine Derek Shepherd to reside.

Work took me to Seattle a few weeks ago, and I was so excited!  It was one of the few remaining US cities I wanted to visit, and I had a huge bonus in being able to hang out with sister and friends J & A! I don't know what people are referring to when they talk about Seattle being cloudy and rainy, because as far as I know, it's sunny, beautiful and 75-80 degrees!

I learned a few interesting things about Seattle:

1. There are waterways ALL OVER Seattle.  Almost like a large-scale Amsterdam.
2. Cars stop for you voluntarily at crosswalks.  Imagine!
3. Waiters don't mind splitting a bill 6 ways.  Imagine!
4. Seattle has it's own real-life superhero (who isn't crazy) - Phoenix Jones.
5. Weed is legal, but is illegal to purchase. ???

I can tell this won't be the last time I'm going visit.  I need to take P on a coffee tour around town, and when I can drink again, we grad school buddies gotta go on a microbrew tour.  And we have to go sailing.  I might need to go up that space needle.  Want more of J's homemade strawberry shortcake.  What else...
