What a wonderful, action-packed final couple days in Seattle!
Saturday, I we finally had a partly cloudy sky and even saw some sun for the first time! We took a ferry over to Bainbridge Island, which is a small island off of the city, full of beautiful silence, natural smells, and views! We adventured the island Saturday afternoon before traveling back for a pancake dinner as an entire group.
Sunday, I walked with some members of the group to the space needle to see the popular landmark up close. Although I didn't travel up the needle, it was cool to be in the base of it, and to see the under-construction needle up close, plus explore the surrounding region! We then walked to Lake Union Park where we saw countless sailboats enjoying the day as well. We even took a tour of the Virginia V, one of the oldest vessels to date. After the long walk back, we rested before taking the Underground Tour of Seattle for $20! Very reasonable given how wonderful, funny, and educational this tour is! I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle, as it is possibly my favorite part of my experience.
As it is late here and we will be having our first tours in Menlo Park tomorrow, I have decided to share my defining picture of Seattle tomorrow. The flight here was rather turbulent, but with a smooth landing this time! and the weather is actually very wonderful, with about 55 degrees and mostly cloudy.
Much more tomorrow! Pictures to follow!
