Seattle and LA

Seattle was great. I took a 4 hour Amtrak train up, and Mary picked me up and we instantly started sight seeing. The architecture in Seattle is really interesting, because it appears to be very sturdy and older than it is. Mary was saying a lot of people say its like Manhattan, but I felt it was like Boston, just smaller.
Mary lives in a cute apartment in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. There's a great local vibe there, she's close to the library, shops and good restaurants, and the bus system. We went to Pike Place and the first Starbucks, then to Pike Brewery. From there we went to a great bar in Belltown called shorty's and played pinball.

The following day we went on the space needle and then her friend Chase took me on a bike ride throughout the city with a huge group of fellow riders. It was a really great night seeing what the vibe of Seattle is like. People are really friendly there and its just busy enough to not be another boring quiet city.

I'm in Fullerton, CA with Andy. Its nice, the weather is pretty hot and my allergies are terrible, but its lively here. We're going to go to the beach once some football game is over and maybe play some volleyball. We're going to hang out with some of his friends in Hermosa beach, walk the boardwalk and hang out at Hermosa Fiesta.
