Seattle

Let's not go into the trip here too much.  Train line was flooded out so was replaced by a bus.  4 hours of a screaming child while trapped on a bus that I had to be up before 5am to catch...  'nuff said.

I think Seattle is going to one of those cities which takes a while to get to know.  Consequently I'm not going to get to know it, but I feel it has potential.  The hotel I booked is a couple of blocks from the Space Needle and is rather more impressive than I expected given the price.  I don't tend to bother with pics of hotel rooms, but I made an exception for this one because it's just cool




As you can see, there was a break in the cloud just after I arrived, so I thought I should make the most of it and go do the compulsory trip up the Space Needle.  It's not that high a tower but it was quite cool all the same.  Having a look around from up there reinforced what I thought earlier, that it looks like an interesting town.  It was unusually windy up there apparently, and damn cold (the staff estimated about 40F - or about 4C).  Got a chance to try out the beanie and gloves :)  Still nothing like what I'll cop when I get to NYC and Montreal, but certainly the first time I've really felt cold so far.



A couple more pics of the tower






Tomorrow is all about Battlestar Galactica http://www.empsfm.org/exhibitions/index.asp?categoryID=164&ccID=286 . Then off to NYC on Thursday.
