Couchsurfing Day 6/12/08
Gas Works Park - Seattle

What a view
PERFECT WEATHER (where are the clouds?)

Ugly thing
Ugly thing that I guess is the reason it's called "Gas Works Park"

CS group
Val from Bulgaria is standing up. Val and I are trying to get a CS bonfire event going in the near future.

Seattle
Check out the plane flying over our heads.

Seattle con Space Needle
Notice how the Space Needle is not in the skyline in reality, only on shows like Fraiser.

There was rolling

and more rolling
Pacho is chasing Stephanie down the hill. Stephen is rolling in the background. Had to watch out for geese poop.

Hilarious food
The walnut/raising turkish sausage wasn't a hit until we found out that it was a natural aphrodisiace.

Riding dirty
Frenchy Cosima and Pablo kept demanding french music. Sorry, house rules: No French in the car. (tough love) Pablo was in the front seat trying to ask some girls outside a bar if they were working or not. "you are kidding. they are working, right? they have to be working." They, however, were not prostitutes but to his defense they looked like whores.
