Seattle Day 2

My one-bag for the trip and my boots on the ferris wheel over the docks. You can't see the layers of islands and mountains in the distance very well in this shot, but I was looking at them and becoming more determined to explore all those places.

Travel pro-tip - if you are going to be on a trip with a lot of walking, bring brand new boots so you can use the trip to break them in. Nothing can go wrong with this plan.

The boots themselves were actually fine, but the sock on my left leg kept slouching and creating a terrible friction point against my achielles tendon. I will not admit to what I let a store charge me for a few band-aids. I need to figure out a good sock situation for these. Also, that is my new bag, the one Rubi admired, but you can't see why in this shot. I will do a separate bag/packing ramble post soon.



I had to check out the local cider scene. This is a cucumber cider from Locust and it was amazing. It was so refreshing I nearly downed the whole thing, which would have been a problem as I hadn't had lunch yet.

I mostly just walked the city. It was cool to be up in Seattle. It's a big city, but still very PNW. I do want to spend more time up there, but really, really, want to go exploring Puget Sound and the ferries. I walked by the ferry dock at one point and remembered last time I used it, feels like ages ago.

Maybe being out walking from morning until my train at 8 PM was a bit overly ambitious, but I do enjoy being on a train at night.
