Seattle Notes

I'm so far behind on these trip reports that I'm going to point you to the Flicker sets for more wordy details:

When we first arrived, R0ndo picked out his favorite sleeping spot. He likes a spot that he can see the whole room, with a view of the exit...for some reason he decided this was the best spot.


I love the new camera. This incorporates amazing low-light capabilities with a high dynamic range resulting in fantastic pics with great detail in both light and shadow (in the same pic!).


Here's another shot of downtown Seattle, taken from the Bainebridge ferry.


More highlights:

Aeto introduced me to Paseo, a fantastic Cuban sandwich shop. "Paseo" is cheap and good-- though different from the Cuban-style I'm used to. The meats are prepared the same way, but tend to the sweet/lime rather than the salty/lime I'm used to.

Aeto's cat meets R0ndo and Apache. You know what they say about curiosity...

Marymoore dogpark had giant piles of cedar mulch. Guess who loved them?

I try to paint R0ndo's foot with a Sharpie pen. I wanted to sign a letter to a friend with pawprints of both dogs, but I don't have an ink-pad up here. The Sharpie sounded like a good idea...R0ndo disagreed.

More great food: Ivar's Salmon House. Other foodie highlights include "Wild Wheat" and "The 5 Spot".

Apache's adorableness is in direct proportion to the evil she plans (or accomplished). I've got witnesses.

I was sad I forgot my katsu at the cottage! I suspect your hounds got it. D:

No and yes...I decided that it -was- too good for them, so I was eating them as a snack on the way to a hike. Unfortunately, I forgot to put the rest in the trunk during a stop and Apache finished off the last two pieces, along with an almond bear claw and some other food in the bag. She paid a price for it, though: I don't think the pastry sat well in her (she seemed vaguely ill and unhappy after that).
