So today is my birthday and I am seventeen years of age. This is a shout out to all of my friends who gave me things, hugged me, and said happy birthday. I love all of you! Basically two of my best friends gave me a boat load of balloons, literally. I think there was like fifteen. They swallowed me and everyone who was brave enough to come within a five meter diameter of me. (yes I said meter because I think American measurements are stupid). ...
Here are a few of my favorite Halloween costumes I saw while in Seattle.
I had the pleasure of meeting an extremely talented African Gray Parrot at Pike’s Place Market. On a street corner a man was performing with his bird. It was amazing. He could play dead, be thrown up into the air and do a 360, meow, and do flips on your hand. Truly incredible. I even got to hold him. Just one of many weird things we encountered in Pike’s Place Market. Here is a little video I took.
My little brother, Gabe, is the shout out of the day mainly because of his amazing costume for Halloween as a playboy bunny. Yes this horrifies me, and yes I fell off my chair laughing. So here you go.
In University of Washington I found a gigantic leaf. Yes, that leaf is as big as my torso. I loved that leaf for 48 hours but sadly I had to let it go when I got on the airport to leave. We had some good times walking around on campus and everyone on the tour commenting on it. Good times, good times. I wish it could have come with me, but I couldn’t put it in my bag. ...
Cream in coffee is good for my mom because she can get her caffeine and sugar high at the same time, I like it for photography. Same difference….. well maybe not. I feel like I should have gotten murdered in Seattle because I don’t drink coffee. It almost seems mandatory when you visit, let alone live. What can I say, i just don’t like coffee. Looks like marble to me. Thanks Starbucks for the shot.
Pike Place Market in Seattle really was an extraordinary experience. There were so many people, so many colors, and so much life. People just offer you food, sing and laugh, it really is a place to see. There will be many more photos from here coming up so stay tuned. Oh and a lady walked into the back of a car and whipped out. Funny but sad. Here are some color pictures of the market. The first is a dried pepper chain, (mom bought one) and of course the classic fruit line up. I can’t wait to go back again.
Gabe and Doug are planning an early Halloween around the neighborhood in an attempt to bring in a big haul. Gabe’s also decided to go as a Playboy bunny. I’m not sure he really looks like one, but he sure does pull off the young girl look look nicely. The bunny mask really just makes me frightened. I think it really terrifies Doug. A little basketball and then it’s time to skip off to scare the neighbors. ...
We visited UW as a possible college for me and it was amazing. This campus is beautiful. They said they have 17 libraries which suits my fancy and they are right on the water. With it being fall there is so much color here and vibrancy in everything even though it is gray out. The architecture is also amazing. The building I would probably be in is called Savory which is in the most beautiful part of campus, the quad. ...
Well what can I say, it’s Seattle and it’s beautiful. I really love it here. Weather isn’t so bad, windy mostly with just a little rain last night. So far the journey has been great. Our flight went smoothly with lots of beautiful sunset pictures from the airplane window. A change from my normal taking pictures from a car window to a plane window.
