maybe seattle is a city of love. all around, i couldnt help but notice that there were so many attractive people, both men and women alike. it's not like they were flaunting any booty or w/e that you typically see in high school (or hooters for that matter), but everyone is just SO ordinarily beautiful. people are colorblind here and everyone runs/bikes.

more trivia:

1. seattle is the fittest city in the nation

2. 2% of seattles workforce bikes. densest population that does so.

3. densest amt. of ferries in lakes in the world.

4. has the most ferry trips in the nation. beats staten island.

5. red robin originated in seattle

6. nordstrom came from seattle

7. pearl jam came from seattle

so it rained heavy today for maybe a full 7 minutes about. so i realized- the weather here is just like PMS. you never know the skies will just condemn the city and rain a shitload, but it doesn't ever seem to last very long... so far. its very on and off, and the sun even pokes out every now and then. i was a little thrown off with it all because i needed sunglasses. AND i saw a double rainbow! :D:D:D:D

my mom and i walked 4 miles over from our hotel to pikes place market, which has a plethora of shops. i didn't know you could physically fit that many shops into a tiny space. i found out that i love russian pastries, local street performers, and seattle gelato is truly amazing in the chocolate box. it's so easy to get lost there, with the 2 floors so we just ended up circling around. and i also tried seattle cioppino, which is a seafood italian soup with a tomato base ( i watch a lot of food network). cioppino is popular in italy cuz its pretty much a hobo meal, european style, in the snese that you just add whatever you can and just throw stuff into a bigass pot. you cant even smell the fish, which is completely and utterly awesome. the smell of fish = the fish isnt fresh. more trivial information for you. MAN i'm on a roll fshizzle.

seattle has wonderful public transportation. you relaly have so many options. i took the seattle shuttle car and monorail, which was really fast, efficient, easy.

although i do have to admit, it was hecka weird' because it felt a lot like deja vu - seattle is just like sanfrancisco. there are a few hills in the roads, and the endless cables that seem to cut through the foggy skies of seattle.

i also took a duck car/boat tour. i want a floating house.
