This morning I headed out on Seattle’s light rail system for some urban exploring. No real intention of going anywhere in particular. Mass transit is very inexpensive in Seattle and even more so for old people like me light rail doesn’t go many places, but it runs every ten minutes. That makes it easy to hop off and explore a bit. I rode the train all morning until my phone said it was 100°. Then I hightailed it back to the hotel and my very cool room. Where I have been ever since. Since walked 5 miles today.
I hopped off the train to explore China town. But it was more like Japanese town. Found a great Japanese bookstore. Which had lots of origami paper. I now have more origami paper. No surprise there.
Also happened upon a huge Japanese supermarket which sold sandwiches. The kinda sandwich’s that you find in a 7/11 in Tokyo.
The sandwich made a great lunch when I made it back to the hotel. But one last stop. The train station. I have come to Seattle on the train several times but I have never gotten on the train in Seattle. Thought I would find the right stop.
That blazing blue sky. I haven’t seen a single cloud since I arrived Saturday afternoon. Or any fog or even humidity. Just hot. Lots of hot.
