Seattle Update!

OK, in my previous post I wrote that Seattle was not all that interesting. I have to amend that. This morning I woke up and went for a run around the city. The sun was up but had not yet peeked from behind the cities tall, but not too tall buildings. I ran around the hotel to the sculpture park and saw some great public art, the sci-fi museum building which is a giant sculpture in itself and of coarse the space needle. I ran the pier by coffee shops and fish markets and then up the hills back into the heart of the city. I guess a city is contrast. A contrast between the nature and wild beauty that surrounds its steel and concrete buildings and of the people that fill its streets. I'm glad I gave this town a second look, but its time to move on and into the amazing rain forests of Olympic National Park. I'd better get my rain coat!
