We left very early in the morning in Champaign, so we got to Seattle before it was lunch time there. Seattle is in Washington which is in a different time zone (ask your parents about time zones). Walking down the street from our hotel we saw this pig-shaped lunch bus. We ate there one of the other days and it was really tasty.
We also visited an outdoor art park down by the water. The tree you see behind Jeannette is completely made of metal.
There was also this glass installation that had different colors in the shape of clouds. It had a pretty neat effect when the sun shined through it.
Below Brownie you see another metal piece of art that Mike thinks looks like a palm tree.
"Oh no! I've got Brownie in my eye!"
Back in downtown Seattle we had a coffee, read our books, and watched a couple guys play a really huge chess game.
On Saturday, we went to a place called Cyberdog to get a hotdog. As it turns out they were vegetarian hotdog substitutes that weren't very good, but inside the shop they had this dog that looked like a much bigger version of Brownie.
We like to come to Seattle to visit Chris & Emily and Jessica & Matt. However, the reason our visit was this specific weekend was because we wanted to see The Black Keys again. It was an excellent show!
On Sunday we went over to Lake View Cemetary to visit Bruce Lee's gravesite. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do, one of the martial arts that Mike studies. Next to the cemetary was an Asian art museum that had a coy pond outside.
We were in Seattle for five days and away from home for almost six. Diesel was very happy for us to finally be home.
