Discovering Seattle, Again
Thank you to all for your comments, it is fantastic to know that you are there! So far, this truly has been a great experience, and I am now eagerly anticipating spending several days in Glacier National Park. I do anticipate that there will be minimal to no WiFi, so updates may come a little slower as they will depend on when I get into town.
I’ve enjoyed a nice night’s sleep in Seattle and am trying to figure out what to do with my luggage so that I can do some exploring around town before heading down to the train station for the 4:45 PM departure of the Empire Builder to Glacier Park. For the first time in quite a while, I’m feeling a chill in the air (it’s been nearly 90 outside throughout my entire trip so far). At 8:00 AM in Seattle, it’s in the mid-50’s with a high of 70 expected–a perfect day. Compared to the south, where I’ve been for the past week, it’s so very nice to be away from the 90’s.
I think that I am off to ride the bus to Discovery Park and do some walking around. Or perhaps simply across the street to the Pike Place Market. There is one thing about train travel – you eat a lot and don’t move around much. So it’s not the way to trim down. I am excited to get out and about and get moving!
I’m posting some new photos from the Coast Starlight. There are some shots of the coastline and many from further north in Oregon and Washington. There are some shots of the mudslide zone in the Cascades, you can perhaps get some perspective as to how big & steep the slide zone was.
