Hello Seattle!
I pulled into Seattle early this afternoon and promptly napped when I arrived at my host’s place. Zan and Steve are super-sweet and I’m very lucky to be hosted by them and their cute cats! They’re skittish at first but now sleep by my feet on the bed. Cool. Zan and I had dinner at a nice veggie place. Then I went by bus to check out Capitol Hill area. It’s a pretty cute college/trendy area with record shops, bars, restaurants, and cafes. It seemed kind of smaller than I expected but maybe that’s just the New Yorker in me. Like Portland, Seattle is a city in the mountains with gorgeous views just beyond the urban landscape. I managed a few Space Needle photos with some mountain views and sunset. Nice.
Gonna get to bed early so I can take in the touristy sights AND do my booksigning at Elliot Bay tomorrow. Wheee!
