A few friends and i took off a few days ago on a road trip and now im here in seattle. The three of us just happened to get 3 days off of work after working for 10 days straigh (pulling 10-12 hour days). Anne and i drove up in Matt's BMW...which is a beautiful car. Seattle is amazing- I think i decided that if i want to move to a big city it would be this one. Earlier today we went to this place called Pike Place market, and it reminded me so much of fishermans warf...but it has a different feel than frisco. Anne said that this is definetly a "starving artist" town and she could be a starving artist here...and i think i feel the same way. Puget Sound is beautiul...so strange to see a body of water right in the middle of a city. The sky line is beautiful, and later we hope to see the space needle up close.
It feels so good to get away from Cannon Beach. Dont get me wrong, i love it there, but it wears on you to be there for too long. I live in a bubble there (we call it the "conference center bubble") which is comforting but it is nice to be exposed to the real world. I love travelling, i love being in big cities...who knows maybe i'll live here someday. I cant wait to be in california again...i'll be there in december. I miss the familiar faces from college....its weird to know that school has started for all of them but im not with them.
