Seattle, Washington

from Jesse Landis-Eigsti:

We flew into Seattle at 11:00 in the morning, Pacific Standard time. It was a strange feeling—-we had been awake for 10 hours, and yet, because of the time change, it was still morning. We were sent loose into the city for lunch.

Seattle is a gorgeous city. We were treated to a bright, sunny day, which, we found out from some local residents, is not always the case in Seattle in February. It was a unique experience for me to see mountains and oceans so close together, and I was struck by how green the city was.

The group went to the pier, where people were throwing fish back and forth. There were little shops and restaurants everywhere and the choir split up as people went exploring. Many people were determined to get some of Seattle's famous seafood. I was with a group that bought a donut the size of a small tire.

We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the sights and sounds of Seattle. Six of us bought cheap plastic ninja swords as souvenirs to remind us of the day. Everywhere we went, people were friendly.
