North America » United States » Washington » Seattle May 29th 2006

After a week of rain and colder weather seeing the sun high in the sky and blue skies is better than winning the lottery! I realize I already complained about this last time, BUT i would just like to say one more time, for the record, that I got stuck in THREE down pours in one day, where I was more than two miles away from the car or tent. Everything I owned (well, not everything, as I brought enough clothes to never really need to do laundry) was wet and/or smelled like camp fire. But as I started out saying, blue skies were here today! May 27. Saturday. After leaving the Florence, OR we drove up the coastal highway. Even with the rain it was incredible. The road is so close to the ocean and ... read more

Land of Starbucks......

Seattle….. Now your probably thinking that Seattle is where Starbucks came from and where grunge music originated….and that is correct but there’s loads more to this city though! There are loads and loads of Starbucks though. Anyway, at the present moment in time we are in San Francisco which is a great place, so when you read my blogs the date that it gives is just the date I write the blogs not the date when I was there….confused….. sorry! Sorry about that, but I am quite a bit behind with my blogs but should be up to date by the time I leave the states! Right…Seattle….it was a really vibrant city, I enjoyed my time there and I think Fran did too. Mainly because of the fact that we got a day trip from the ... read more

Pike Market

Went down to Pike Market to check out the longest market in the USA. Got to see a guy throw a fish 20 feet through the air and caught it on camera too. Reminds me of Old Strathcona with an ocean view mixed with a large farmers market.... read more

After a short four hour flight from the sunny mile high city of Denver we arrived at the airport in Seattle. It was so nice to fly for only four hours instead of the bus journey which would have taken 36 hours!!! I have heard that the journey by road is nice to actually do due to the scenery, however the views out of the windows of the plane were fantastic. I think that 36 hours may have just been a bit too long and as we are nearing the end of our time in this part of the world we were both glad to have that extra time in Seattle. At the airport we got a shuttle into downtown Seattle. On approach we could see lots of what appear to be really tall buildings. This ... read more

Customs

Jord Kat

Maybe driving really fast on I-5 wasnt so smart. Oh well not the first speeding ticket I have got. Not bad price for going 18 mps over only $150. On the upside going through customs was really fast and they didnt search through our stuff which was nice. ... read more
