Coffee cups and Ferryboats

It's not at all hard to determine where I was the past few weeks.
If the title didn't give it away, the last few pictures surely will. For a Starbucks addict like myself, getting to its Pike place location provided a definite thrill even before imbibing any caffeine.
The skyline of Seattle as you can see is truly beautiful. I had perfect weather during my stay and though it drizzled on my last day, I fully embraced it as part of the necessary Seattle experience. I mean, if I could see Mount Rainier in the distance on my very first day, what more could I ask for? Nothing - except maybe for a longer stay.

Seattle has officially ascended to the very top of my list as most favourite US city. A local I spoke to told me that they were completely spoilt by all the riches Seattle had to offer and I completely agree. Being in Seattle made me feel as if I had just done 10 sessions of hot yoga. Serene and at one with nature.

Even with an average drinking rate of a cup of coffee every 3 hrs or so and the Grey's Anatomy jingle playing unavoidably in my head, I had never felt more recharged and energised. A truly happy camper.

  2. You know, I hear this same kind of thing about Seattle a lot. I have to say, it always sort of surprises me. I guess I just always have this mental picture of Seattle being rainy and dreary and just no fun at all. But if I were to go by what you've said here, as well as what I've heard from other people, it actually seems like the kind of city and place that I would love. Hopefully one day I'll get to check it out for myself. Love the photos... particularly 2,3, and 4.
