San Francisco vaikuttaa siistiltä. Ainakin lentokenttä ja hotelli. Nukuin riittävästi: Klo 22-2 ja klo 3-7. Aamupalalla oli pahviset kertakäyttöastiat. Tarjolla kahvia, leipää, mysliä. Wifi toimi hyvin. Hoidin check inin. Sain sähköpostin että lento myöhästyy puoli tuntia joten siirsin eteenpäin kyytiä kentälle. Olin taas lentokentällä hyvissä ajoin. Aika kului netissä. Otin pullakahvin. Lopulta lento lähti puolitoista tuntia myöhässä. Olin ikkunapaikalla. Marko oli kentällä vastassa. Ajettiin hänen asuntoonsa keskustaan. Suihkun jälkeen vaihdoin sortsit ja t-paidan. Käytiin syömässä ja oluella. Täällä baareissa vaaditaan kaikilta passi tai virallinen henkilötodistus. Sen sai myös huomata päivittäin, että syöminen on täällä kalliimpaa kuin Suomessa.... read more

Het is ongewoon warm in Seattle, iedere local die we spreken maakt ons duidelijk dat we heel veel mazzel hebben en dat het normaal helemaal niet zo lekker is hier. Dan knikken we dankbaar en nemen aan dat dan ook zo is. De vlucht van Londen naar Seattle was geen pretje, we zaten echt middenin met weinig beenruimte, de service van BA is natuurlijk prima maar van koffie hebben ze geen verstand en van Engelse thee moet je ook maar houden. Opvallend was de line-up bij immigration: 3/4 single late twintigers tot vroege veertigers, rugzak of cabine-koffertje en aan de betreffende officer uitleggen wat voor werk ze voor Microsoft enzo komen doen. Gelukkig waren we niet de enige vakantie-vierende pensionado's, zo bijzonder zijn we dus niet. Kings Inn hotel is precies wat je van een low-budget ... read more

Op 28 april komen we aan in Seattle, we slapen een paar nachten in King's Inn (downtown), verkennen de stad, doen alvast wat boodschappen en maken ons verder klaar voor de reis. Op 1 mei nemen we de bus of de trein naar Everett waar Cruise America z'n depot heeft. s'Middags rijden we naar een RV-camp in Mount Vernon, handig gelegen tegenover een Wallmart, waar we van alles zullen inslaan. De rest van de avond verkennen we de camper, bekijken de route en het weer van de volgende dag en richten ons huisje voor de komende weken in. Op 2 mei begint het dus echt, we willen die dag een flink eind rijden omdat die 20 dagen die we voor de reis hebben uitgetrokken misschien wat krap zijn. Als iets misschien minder interessant is dan moet ... read more

Today can be summed up in eight short bullets: We had a lie-inWe ordered room service breakfast (a bit of an extravagance but worth it!)We had a lie down and mini napWe went for a walk around Pike Place Market on a beautiful sunny day (we loved the flowers, the flying fish, the gross gum wall, the elephant garlic and the heirloom tomatoes the most)We lunched at a little deli in Post Alley... read more

This was one of the longest drive days scheduled for the trip with an estimated 11 hours to get from East Glacier Village to Seattle. So, we stopped in at Brownies the local deli for some breakfast, and hit the road early. I thought I’d be adventurous with my coffee - error - and ordered the huckleberry flavoured kind. Ick. I should know better. We decided to take US-2 west instead of going back through the park again today. What an amazing road! This definitely ranks as one of the most beautiful drives we’ve done. The mist hanging low over the trees, the mountains, the forests, the historic railroad along side of us - it was magical. That is until we nearly hit a dear gamboling across the road. I wasn’t paying attention to the road ... read more

Today it was time to say goodbye to Denver, and more importantly to Anna. It was sad to leave her, but I was looking forward to my trip so it was easier to say goodbye this time than it was when she was in Australia. The flight to Seattle was fairly uneventful. At Denver airport I was called to the counter after check-in. I was hopeful that it was for a free first class uprade. Yeah right! Instead, I was asked if I minded swapping seats with someone so she could sit with her partner on the flight. I agreed to this, however once on the plane I regretted that decision. I was sat next to a couple with an 11 month old. To his credit, he slept the whole flight so I wasnt disturbed. Upon ... read more

Andy Warhol’s 15 Minutes of fame at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) August 12, 2010 As mentioned, the current Warhol exhibit was a bit small to me (as is SAM as well). I’m so spoiled by living in Chicago (Art Institute, Chicago Cultural Center). Also, I had not only seen a much larger Warhol exhibit in Chicago, but I’ve also visited the Andy Warhol Museum in his hometown of Pittsburgh (like Dylan, he escaped his confining roots early on). There’s no pictures allowed of the exhibit, but it featured the silent “15 minute films,” which required anyone, famous or not, to be filmed non-stop for 15 minutes before entry to Warhol’s factory space would be permitted. A young Lou Reed was of interest. In the spirit of Warhol, a (now) old-timey photo booth was there, dispensing ... read more
