West Seattle

After crossing the sound by water taxi, we've taken a bus to Seattle Junction in West Seattle. I think if I had to rely on public transportation to get where I'm going every day, though, I'd be very frustrated.

By unanimous decision, we've stepped into a local coffee shop for a spontaneous cupcake break. I complement mine with an order of hot cider with caramel... also known as "ambrosia." The cupcake (chocolate with a hint of orange) was pretty good too, as served up by a rather cute cupcake girl :-)

With nothing else of interest in this area, we are shortly back on the dock at Seacrest Park, the night-time Seattle skyline spread out before us. A full moon brushes the water's surface with pearlescent light, scintillating in the wave crests. Jewels pale in comparison.

The plan now is to meet Tom at the Seattle Waterfront, savor some more seafood for dinner, then head over to Chopstix, a piano bar near our hotel... where Thursday night is Ladies Night. Trust Nate to spot the ad in the newspaper ;-)

Not that I'm complaining!
