My love affair continues. We met last June, and I knew there was something special going on from the first moment. We've been together a year now (well, actually a year and 3 days), and the romance hasn't fizzled a bit.
That's right-- one year in Seattle already, and still, my obsession with this city has not worn off... in the least. I thought it would by this time, but I keep discovering more breath-taking and character-filled spots. And not just that, but I'm still caught off guard by the places I see every day.
How is it possible that I still squeal and yell, "I love this city!" when driving over the Ballard Bridge? I even catch myself off-guard with my Tourette-like reactions. I just can't help it when I see the ship yard and its mountainous backdrop on a sunny day.
Sometimes I start to think that I have a handle on a good majority of the cool spots in Seattle. Nope. They're endless. Last week I discovered a place that, upstairs, is a new and used bookstore and Greek restaurant and downstairs, a pub with a great selection of micro-brews, huge tables, and bookcases with help-yourself games and books. Hummus, books, beer, and Carcassonne all in one place? I must have died and gone to heaven.
Seattle keeps doing this to me! I think it can't get any better, and then it does. Over and over again.
Seattle,
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.

ReplyDeleteIt's not hard at all to imagine you exclaiming "I love this city!"
That place with Carcassone sounds perfect.
Miss you.
