Back in the USA. A little more normalcy in terms of cell phone and Internet. Otherwise, we meld together quite well....US and CA, that is.
Got to Seattle Friday afternoon. Met up with Carol Christensen and her family for a fabulous Halibut dinner. Then last night she prepared a superb meal of shrimp kebobs on the grill, and a wonderful clam dish........I OD'd on bread sopping up the last of the tasty clam sauce left in my bowl. This all topped off with Marionberry pie, a local favorite.
Yesterday Carol took us on a whirlwind tour of some highlights of the city. Pike's Market was of course a major highlight, a driving tour of some of the waterfront, spent some time at the locks that connect the Sound with fresh water Lake Washington. We had perfect weather, in fact, almost too hot. This was the first warm weather they have experienced so far this year. Friday was in the 90's, a high for them. So I guess it doesn't rain every day in Seattle. Carol's house is up the hillside, about a half block from the Sound. She has a great deck overlooking the expanse of the sound and the islands beyond. So beautiful.
Today will be on to Portland. So I'm starting my way back home. Another week.
