... has a Summer Soltice Festival in one of the neighborhoods which is like the one in Key West. After our tour we then went to the top of the Needle which was awsome. We decided to visit Pikes Place another day so we could get the car washed and do some more site seeing. We went east of town to visit the Snoqualmie Falls. This is a 270 foot fall which was started in 1898 with part of the power plant excavated through the rook.<br><br>Tuesday ...

... chst nicht mehr so lange Texte, aber hier auf dem Flug hab ich viiiel Zeit. Noch 2400 von 7700 Km bis Seattlle, es sind -61°C draussen und der Blick auf die kanadische Wildniss ist herrlich. Haben abends auf der Fähre nach Vashon Island wo unsere noch Kathy Sider kennengelernt, die uns mit ihrem mann gleich zum essen eingeladen haben und uns noch Karten geschenkt haben. Alles in allem sind die leute hier super nett.

... champagne. No, not a new drink - NCL is really careful on that Norwalk virus thing, so they spritz your hands everytime you come aboard, and before every meal. You get used to it, but it's a little odd at first. The sun was somewhat out (by Seattle standards), so we headed up on deck to find the "FreeStyle" deck. Hans and I saw this mentioned in the cruise literature, and sure enough there it was - a small clothing optional area. Interestingly - the ...

... Space Museum and the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, has lots of planes suspended from the ceiling and displayed at ground level for viewing. It also has a lot of Boeing history, since Boeing is based in the Seattle area (more about that in a minute), and a lot of history about the early pioneers of the flight industry: Boeing, of course, and McDonnell, Piper, Cessna, and many more - names that I've always associated with a company but not with individual people until now. A ...

Hello, It's been a few days and there have been many inquiries on how Sheryl, Alex and baby KB are doing. Here is the latest. First - Baby KB has a name! For those of you who were reading Kent Borton as a full name - it is actually the combined last name of Sheryl and Alex. They are officially Kent Borton.  Their baby joins them with the name Kai Kent Borton - so baby KB sticks!!! J Second - Baby Kai had his respirator removed today!!!  Cautiously removed... if he ...

... Mai, a couple of nights after I'd visited the elephant park, we went to a great, friendly, rockin' little club (Guitarman) near the Night Bazaar, and the featured band (Something Underground from Denver) played "Mr. Elephant," about an elephant crippled by a land mine. They also played a version of the Eurythmics song "Sweet Dreams." More magic: Our excursions to Laos for the boat ...

This was one of those magical weekends where nothing was planned and everything fell into place perfectly....dinner out with four of my dearest friends in Seattle, Kerry, Q, Martha and Abbey in celebration of and in mourning of their move to DC on Monday...delicious food, cheese (Marth's favorite), wine, great service...shots and chocolate in honor of the move. Then on to Kells for beers, wine and some kick ass Irish tunes. Live music all night long, dancing, clapping, catching up ...

... the ballgame with Vicki (in my room at hostel) and it was awesome! We had ok seats and got chatting to an American who told us to we could wander around and walk down to the front to take pictures but that people didn't take too kindly to sitting in the expensive seats without tickets. At the 5th inning we walked around to the other side of the pitch (not sure if it's called a pitch or not?!) and took a few photos. Another American couple came up ...

... menu is ambitious but the food is cooked below and butlered up. Tight quarters here. Andrew and I pick over what we have, the meat is not so good, but then he gets a shake, dessert, I say, dessert you can't go wrong. Our companion is traveling alone, and doesn't want to chat. It's dark outside, we must have missed the Baring sign, where the summer cabin is.

... in the logistics of needing to be at different places at the same time. "We just can't work it out," Scott apologized. "S'OK," I said. "We'll see you next month." "No cousins today," I told the gathering four. "But the chicken is ready, so let's eat!" A good way to begin your Last Fling of Summer Sunday, no matter how small the crowd.
