Seattle 2006
Friday, May 12, 2006
Hail to the Peerless City, Metropolis of the west,
The gateway to the Orient,
Whom grandeur hath caressed!
Her men and women active, proud,
Seattle build sublime,
And greater far than ancient Rome,
The matchless for all time.
[excerpt from Seattle's blatantly self-aggrandizing city song, "Seattle the Peerless City"]
Hehe, I thought I'd just throw that out for all you aspiring poets out there. It also hints at the topic of this post - hurrah for foreshadowing!
Sorry for the very long break between posting - I didn't have the energy to dual post on both blogger and xanga the last few months (I am characteristically a very lazy blogger). Anyway, exams have been over for a while already, and I have been enjoying a rather decadent summer break :D
My cousin Joy came to visit us for a couple weeks, and we all went to Seattle for a few days with Tiff and Jer, on our first parent-free vacation! Sightseeing is way more fun when you aren't forced to take mandatory family shots all the time, hehehe.... Neverthess, we still took a lot of photos :p

Hehe, I believe the photos are pretty self-explanatory. We spent most of our time in Seattle shopping in downtown, but we also visited the famous Seattle public market. We took a lot of photos around the surrounding area (it's a really nice view), and we also visited the first Starbucks ever! The two-for-one shot of Jer eating sushi was our dinner at Todai, an all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant where you eat until you have migraines :D
The protest picture is kind of out-of-place, but we saw a HUGE parade of people going through the streets on May 1st, in response to the nation-wide protest against immigration laws. That was actually pretty cool, it was like seeing history in the making :p

That's all I feel like posting right now... hopefully I will be able to head back to Calgary for a decent portion of the summer, so I can catch up with the Calgary folk :D. Until then, have a relaxing and productive summer!
