Seattle and Washington State

Monday 09/07/12 – Our first night sleeping on the open deck of the ferry was great! It was an eerie morning as the passage was blanketed in fog which made the whole experience very unusual. One of the other passengers sleeping on deck had her dog with her for the night, a great big black husky that was really well behaved. Canada and Alaska are so dog friendly, everywhere you go people have dogs, even many shop owners have their dogs in the store with them. They are all so well behaved; I guess it’s due to the constant exposure to other dogs. The day was spent reading and relaxing on the ferry whilst keeping an eye out for the many eagles, sea lions, humpback whales and orcas that were cruising along the passage. We treated ... read more

Well its been a tumultuous couple months for me. I went from being elated at the possibility of moving to Australia for a mistakenly adored woman, to getting a 4 line "Dear Mel" email. She stated the past few weeks she had met someone (though I'm thinking it was actually months ago) and she wanted to remain friends. Well to close this head shaking chapter I'll say this. In her defense she said "I'm sorry", well Ellen I agree you are sorry. Moving onnnnnn..... Incase anyone is wondering what the pics are they are of my hometown one is of the passenger only ferry to West Seattle. The other is the gate to Chinatown. And i had considered saying something about the gate representing something, but I'd be lying. I just simply like it. So my ... read more
Coast Starlight, Seattle to Bay Area

Phase Two of my railway training for the Trans Siberian Railway is a rail trip from Seattle to Martinez on the Coast Starlight on Tuesday, June 29 and 30. I flew to Seattle on Monday from SFO on a really cheap ticket, since United gave me a $150 credit for some previous mishap on my way to Indy last month. I snagged a free hotel room, since they previously gave us a room with a step up bathroom. Needless to say, very dangerous for nocturnal urination. So here are the basics for the trip. Amtrak #11 leaves Union Station in Seattle at 9:15am, PDT on Tuesday. Here are the stops, with a few of the times: Tacoma Olympia (give me some beer) Centralia Kelso (wasn't he on "That 70's Show?" Vancouver (which one?) Portland (1:50pm, welcome ... read more

So, woke in the morning about 7 am - and headed for Pike Market in downtown Seattle for a Piroshky at the Piroshky Bakery - look it up on google if you are ever in seattle - great spot. I got a Bavarian Sausage Piroshky, Mark got a potato and cheese, and we tore em n half and devoured. Then, we walked through the rest of pike market, and saw plenty of ENORMOUS shrimp, GARGANTUAN crab legs, COLOSSAL donuts, and...itsy bitsy tiny donuts too. Spread this in with fresh flowers and chocolates and such and you start to get a feel for the Pike market. Unfortunately, nothing much else seemed to be open, so me and Mark bummed around and then went down to the pier where I took the video above, then hung out in ... read more
