Penniless in Seattle

We arrived in Seattle today, spent some time with Heather, Leslie and Evan then Heather took us to her friends house where we will be house-sitting while we are here. The owners have a pair of zebra finches that are very cute and very talkative.

Went to the movies tonight (Saturday night - it's actually two hours earlier here than the time that is shown on our postings - the server must be in the Midwest). $8.50/ticket (senior rate) plus $9.50 for a small coke and small popcorn and then $12.00 for the parking (theater was in downtown). WELCOME TO THE BIG CITY! Plus, of course, the traffic is absolutely frantic in this city.

Observed lots of shopping downtown, lights, a carousal in the street, and lots of people with Santa hats. A word of caution - when headed North on I5, be carefull not to get in the express lane as you will be getting off of the highway 50+ blocks past the street you wanted!
