Seattle.

We visited Seattle last week. Our friend Josh was kind enough to show us around the city. We enjoyed seeing Pike's Place Market, the wall of gum, and the Space Needle. We also went to Gasworks Park, where we enjoyed the view of the cityscape. Overall, we think Seattle is a pretty cool town. Huzzah for the mighty Northwest!

Kevin and Young/Eric and Carrie Jo in Seattle.

We visited our friends Kevin and Young while we were in Seattle. We've been friends with Kevin since we were in college, and we met Young while we were in Seoul. It was great to see them, and we had a great time visiting them. They've got a great apartment in Fremont, a really cool neighborhood in the city.

We also got to see our friends Eric Birdsong and Carrie Jo. Thanks for coming out, and it was great to see you both!

We want to say thank you to Kevin and Young for letting us stay at their place. We really appreciate your friendship and hospitality. Take care, and all the best with the new house!

Seattle.

We're in Seattle this morning, getting ready to head to Olympic National Park for the weekend. I'll post more entries and photos of our time here in Seattle once we're in Portland and have reconfigured our two computers so that the one is not so overly loaded with data.

I want to wish my brother Matthew de Zoete all the best as he leaves for his western tour today. If you're interested in checking out his fabulous live show, you can find dates and venues at www.matthewdezoete.com.

In Seattle.

We're in sunny Seattle. After a bit of a grilling at the border yesterday, we made it to town. Huzzah!

We're staying with our friends Kevin and Young, and our friend and former house-mate Josh just showed up at the coffee shop! Double huzzah!

Time to head downtown and explore the city. And possibly check out some of this "grunge" music about which I've heard so much.

I'll post photos of Yellowstone, Glacier, and British Columbia later today.
