I had always though of Washington state as a lush, green place full of snowy mountains and verdant valleys. Well, some parts of it are indeed lush and green, but much of the Northern half of the state, between Spokane and Seattle, is low, rolling sage and chaparral hills -- nearly desert. We spent most of this day driving for 6 or so hours to get to Seattle. We got into Seattle about 7:00 PM, and called Jody's brother and wife, Adam and Klassy, respectively. As Klassy planned on flying to Arizona very early the next day, we could only get a visit in with her if we did it that night. They picked us up in their marvelously maintained Buick Skylark, and Klassy took us on a whirlwind nighttime tour of Seattle and Bellevue that culminated in dinner out at a great Italian/Mediterranean restaurant. Here we all are, at the end of the meal. Photo courtesy of our waiter, Joseph.
