The view from the airport. It makes the flight go better after enjoying a view like this. (And a couple of Valium.)

Seattle, Washington: Episode 11
See how I specifically put the image on the shore near the top? That way I had room to put something below it.
Okay, so I’d seen it on Pinterest before we went on the trip. Bad, bad, Pinterest! Making me take credit for a fantastic idea.
Seattle, Washington: Of Interest 09
As an addict for books, whether audio or on paper, I enjoy buildings that possess books.
The Seattle Public Library has many branches, so this is NOT their only building! I mean, my hometown has a great main library, but that main library and all of the branches would fit inside of this main library with room to spare. How cool is 11 stories?
Also, there are many windows, so it’s also a good view of the city.
Never you mind, you can walk – without stairs – through the non-fiction section. There is a slight slant, but no stairs for ease of access to all of this wonderful knowledge. If you ever get to Seattle, stop by this architectural and bibliophile amazement.
(Side note: It’s not exactly homey, like my own city’s libraries, but it is a sight to behold.)
Seattle, Washington: Of Interest 03
I adore cheese. Mozzarella, Seasoned Goat, Paneer, Bleu, Limburger, Havarti, Sage Derby, Feta, Queso, Colby Jack, Cream, Monterey Jack, Muenster, Cottage, String, Brie, Brick, Gorgonzola, Marble, Provolone, and Gouda, are just a few that come to mind which taste divine.
So, needless to say, I was thrilled to pieces when my colleague and I found this fantastic cheese curd at Beecher’s in Seattle. Oh my! Sadly, it has been a year since I’ve been there and took this photo, and I have yet to find a cheese in my hometown that even compares to the deliciousness of this marvelous find.
Morale of the Story: Joy can, at times, equal cheese. If it’s the right one made at the right time, eaten with a loving heart.

What a great view at a shopping mall in Seattle. Oh, wait, what is that there on the left?
It’s just a guy, hangin’ out…
Seattle, Washington: Of Interest 01
Over a year ago, I was blessed to spend some time in Seattle, Washington. I’m not much on traveling, but this is a place I have desired to see. Granted, most of the time was spent in the basement conference rooms of yet another lovely hotel.
However, we made sure to pack in as much sight-seeing as possible.
The thing I enjoyed most was the Pike Place (or is it Street?) Market. So many sights to see, smells to inhale, and voices to hear. For this, I would fly over mountains again!
Moral of the Story: Sometimes, we’ll do what we don’t expect for what we are pleasantly surprised to find.
