SEATTLE! Oh, how we love Seattle. Brimming with fresh, authentic Thai food, fresh roasted coffee and locally brewed beer. It's a haven for the lover of finer things. We have been waiting patiently for amazing Thai food for over a year. (The last time was during a layover in Seattle in July 2012.) Coffee tastes like coffee is supposed to taste, even at Kiosks. And there is a brewery seemingly on every block. We basically just walked around really full, caffeinated and buzzed the entire time.
Panang Curry, brown rice, phad thai and eggroll. Mmmm..
Other Things That We Love About Seattle Besides Things That You Consume:
You can walk everywhere.
Transit System that works.
Can we say most likely the Greenest City in the USA? (This is not a looked up fact, just an assumption).
Open minded and forward thinking people.
Close to the ocean and the mountains.
Mild weather
Fresh food. Ok we already talked about food but seriously, you can get fresh produce, fish, beer etc.
Downside, Because Nowhere Can Be Perfect:
It rains frequently, particularly in the winter
There is a lot of traffic (but that can be offset if you use public transit!)
Some people can be a little snooty, but hey, those people are everywhere.
Overall, we love this city.
A Spontaneous Show at The Outlander Brewey
Our friends Amy and Jessica suggested we try to play a random show at a local brewery and it worked out. We went there strangers, but by the time we had a few beers and played our show we felt like we belonged there. Everyone hugged on the way out. We're big fans of hugging, so that just sealed the deal on this place. It was a small but appreciative crowd that genuinely listened to our acoustic act. The shape of the room made for great acoustics. Thanks to the random group of friends that showed up! (Bryce, Amy, Jessica, Brian and Jackie) There were a few faces I hadn't seen in years.
First RV Park Experience
Finally out of the below freezing temps we were able to fill our water tank and use our RV to it's fullest potential. It really feels like home now. We learned how to drain our gray and black water.
Gray=sink and shower water. Black=toilet stuff (yuck). Kinda sketchy, but it seemed to go fine. We are thinking in investing in an expensive sewer hose to minimize the chance of any unwelcoming leaks or accidents. Lucky for me (Rumeysa) this is Daniel's job.
We have unspoken designated jobs. Mine revolve around cleaning, cooking, laundry, cold calling for booking, organizing bills. His falls under repairs, yucky things, jobs outside in the cold, technical and mechanical things, emailing for booking. Perhaps a little conventional, but it works.
Onward we go.
