Flag of United States Seattle, California
Thursday, February 22, 2007

Was one of those morning where you wake up and feel like you are on another planet. Like a lot of North American hostels a huge buffet breakfast was laid out during which I was piling up a plate of muffins when a Japanese guy in the line next to me suddenly turns and says "Can I borrow your shampoo?" still sleepy I replied "Huh, what....err, ok.......the jam's over there".

Sitting down to eat said muffins their was a group of girls smelling the flowers on the table which would seem normal enough if they weren't plastic while having to sit and listen to one loonies conspiracy theories about the government trying to bring down IT companies and putting spy cameras in his daily dose of mercury no doubt.

Escaping the asylum I headed out on my own today taking a long walk through the city which I had grown to really like over the last two days

Cascade Mountains

. Not zipping up the Space Needle yesterday I walked up to a park with a large water tower in it at the same height as the needle but free giving great views over downtown, the Cascade Mountains and Mt Rainer, the local volcano.

Seattle is the resting place of two well known legends which I didn't know till I got here with both Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee being buried here. Hendrix's grave was some distance out of town although apparently if you leave your pick there over night you can play purple haze left handed the next morning but Bruce was lying just around the corner from the park so I walked over there only finding the grave by two Chinese posing for photos by it.
