Seattleite Heart

After San Francisco was so familiar, it was really strange being in Seattle. Somehow, I just couldn’t get my bearings (geographically and mentally), even with a view of the Space Needle from my hostel bed.


I did a bunch of touristy stuff, like visit Pike Place Market and the Pacific Science Centre (woo! dinosaurs and robots and a planetarium!)




But hanging out with Lisa, her husband Micah and her awesome daughter Zyatah was the real reason I was there. I’ve probably told you all the story about how Lisa and I met last time I was in Seattle, how we share the exact same birthday day and how our lives have diverged since then. It was lovely spending time with her family (luckily I happened to be around for Zyatah’s birthday party) and feeling like a few months rather than six years had passed. Let’s hope it’s not so long next time.
