Day 7 - Nov 13

Drove to Bellevue, the home of many Microsoft employees, including David and Jody, the kids of friends Bob and Peggy Long. Jody took me for a great view of the Space Needle where we talked with a pair of flight attendants from Germany who wanted to know what to do and see in Seattle.  Jody told them of the Chihuly glass museum and made me wish I had time to see it myself.  Not on this trip if I'm to get home in time for an 80th b'day party of a friend.
                                                                         
                                                                            

                                                                            
             Jody brushing her dog almost makes me wish I had cats again. Almost.
                                                                                        

 

The Space Needle

 

A Chihuly art glass installation in a business office.

We had lunch with David downtown near his office after a tour of a Seattle which reminded me of San Francisco with its hills.

 

Seattle is a sentimental journey destination for me since Bob and I went there to the World's Fair in 1962 on our honeymoon. I feel like he was here with me today.
