Oh yeh, thats right! I'm in hippie town. I'm here visiting my bestest friend Lexie. I took the Amtrak up, the longest train ride ever. There was so much construction and congestion we were stopping and going and stopping and going. One good thing was the view! Absolutely gorgeous! The water, the boats, the old parts of town you don't usually drive. It was just so beautiful. I had two seats to myself, one for my stuff and one for me and my laptop. I watched a couple of movies and the wifi was amazing the whole way up. When I stepped off the train it was raining cats and dogs and I LOVED IT! I am such a fan of the rain and this was the first time I have experienced Washington rain in a very long time! As I am standing in the rain I look everywhere for Lexie. I call and wandering up and down the side of the building looking and looking. As it turns out I was way on the other side of the station. Geeze, amateur hour!
She drove us back to her place, in the rain, up a hill, in the dark. It was awe-some. :) I was just excited to be there! I think her place is adorable, a little wonkey, none of the rooms are the same size, but I think that is what adds character and individuality to the place! AND I get my own room while I'm here, and a sleeping bag! :) I slept well and we hung around and lazed about this morning with breakfast and coffee/tea. Now we are in the Fairhaven district walking around, window shopping and walking and walking. We went to the farmers market and now we are in a bookstore cafe. I made the mistake of walking up to the 50% used books shelf. Oh man, I wanted to buy so many, some were olny $2.50! I bought one, Amity and Sorrow by Peggy Riley. Now I am sitting here writing this while looking out over the Puget Sound and sitting next to my bestest friend. Hmmmm so nice... I'm thinking I might be hungry. There is a pregnant lady sitting next to me eating an amazing looking wrap! Lexie and I figured out our whole eating schedule so I know fish and chips is next, I think its one block up!
We are heading back on Sunday, then packing! Woot Woot!
