Seattle a day trip 2

It was a bad weather in the morning. 
Despite the rain, I stayed outside.
I was inspired by beautiful architectures in the city,
they're retro-futuristic.
I couldn't take many photos because of rain, 
next time when I visit there, I will definitely take a lot of photos. 




I was thinking to visit art galleries, unfortunately, 
it was on Monday then all galleries are closed.
I heard about the bus in downtown area is free,
then I tried to take metro bus.
The station was really cool look, like a Sci-Fi film set.


I wanted to check out a town called Ballard,  
and it was little away from the downtown, about 30 min by bus. 
When I saw the map, I felt like a bit far to go there, but it worth for taking time.
It's my favorite area now.

Nice brick buildings.

I was walking around, seemed like a lot of stores are closed on Mondays,
the town was quiet.
I saw many cool cafes and stores there, must be busy on weekends.

My favourite store, called Black Bird.
I found their clothing store at first,
and the staff introduced me their perfume store.
The stores are both awesome, specially the perfume store has an excellent selection.
I bought one, CB from NY, smoky tobacco.
It is sweet-smoky smell at first, 
the last note is amber(I guess...sorry if I was wrong!).

After satisfied with smelling and looking at beautiful perfumes,
I had a strawberry soda at miro tea.


That's all story of my one night trip to Seattle.
Want to check it out the Ballard area more!

Seattle a day trip1

I was in Seattle for a day trip.
I decided this trip a week ago - I was bored with staying in one town and wanted to do something different.
I thought there might be similar to Vancouver, but it wasn't correct - the city was much bigger than I expected.


So..I arrived there in the evening and went a fancy bistro for my dinner.
It was a chef of a deli called "Delicatus" near my hotel's recommendation, (I tried to go there but they're almost closed and I asked their recommendation.They're so nice and foods looked great, I want to try the deli next time. )
The bistro is located on pike street, is on the alley way near the ocean.Cool atmosphere.



After the dinner,I felt like drink a glass of beer and went a pub.
The pub called"pioneer square saloon" I was interested in the sound of "saloon" and tried to get in.

I liked about the people in the pub-young to old, they 're all enjoying their time.
I talked with the owner couple, they keeps the store 18 years.
The meaning of "saloon" is like "pub" , in 1940s, blue colored people get together and drink at there.
Anyways, I talked with them until closing.
A night in Seattle.

Indian Sunday

After a yoga class, I was passing by an Indian temple and I heard some music from there.
I was curious to see inside, and went in... meditated with their song.
Shanti.
