Back to Canada
As I could not find a place in Seattle (that I could pay) that was free for the whole month, I checked out of Lily’s home this morning, rented a car, and drove up north to Vancouver. I like this city. It’s been a long battle between Vancouver, Seattle and Portland, as my home for […] Read More
Discovery Park
I decided I needed to get a little bit more active, and not only just hang out in the nearest parks…. as it was already a bit too late to start a bike hinke towards West Seattle, I figured I could go to Discovery Park. Google maps indicated a 45 minute trip along the lake […] Read More
Listening
It was one of these days that just turn out differently than you thought when you got up. First of all, it was grey and cold in the morning. No beach or park. I headed to Joe’s Bar as every morning for my coffee, croissant and wifi, and then decided to go downtown to SAM, the […] Read More
Trivia night
Daniel and I went to Poco, a nice bar on Cap Hill with great wines and some delicious food – I love their truffled Mac ‘n cheese! – and had a great time with the owner and some guests last week. So this Monday was Trivia night, and after a quick bite at Tacos El Asadero, […] Read More
Other blogs and stuff
I just added a little list of links to other blogs that I browse through regularly or that inspired me for my trip. I’ll add more as I go along. Happy reading. May they inspire you as they inspired me. Read More
1914-2014

Fleet week
The boys and girls of the Navy and the Marines are in town. Seattle, being an important port, is brimming with Sailors in uniform and the bars are exploding… They voluntarily pose with anyone in the bars, streets, and I’m sure a good percentage got laid last night. If not, second chance tonight… With that […] Read More
First week in Seattle
The first week is already over in Seattle. I can not report on much to be honest. It’s hot, I’m mostly riding Henry to the park and spend time on the green, with fruit, a salad, and a book. Then I meet some friends, Seattle was really easy to connect to. I’ve been out in […] Read More
Henry the bike
And I am mobile again. At least within the confines of Capitol Hill. As of yesterday, I do have a bike again. It’s called Henry. Simply because, well, it needed a name and Henry was the first that came to mind when I rode it. My friend Daniel gave it to me for the time […] Read More
