Walking around Seattle

Over the last few days I have had a wonderful time walking around the
city of Seattle. I stayed up on 5th Ave near the Seattle Center and
took the Monorail into the city at night. The weather was beautiful
every evening, and unlike my last visits, no rain. I look forward to
returning soon.

What also appeals to me about Seattle, is the progressive feeling I get from being in the city.  After a salad lunch at the client's office, I asked if there was a recycle bin for my salad tray to which I got the response, "This is Seattle, we recycle everything."  :)

A perfect evening in San Francisco

The weather in San Francisco was absolutely beautiful this evening.
The sky was crisp and clear and the breeze was pleasant. After a very
tasty dinner I browsed the shops in the Ferry Building and walked up
and down The Embarcadero, taking in the view.

A nice view with a shot of tequila

Enjoying an absolutely beautiful evening and dinner at El Torito while watching the planes land at SFO.   I am also pleasantly surprised by the restaurant's "Cadillac Magarita".  Made with 1800 Reposado tequila, it comes with a side shot of Grand Marnier.  Did I mention I like tequila?

Chicago from the clouds at sundown

I never tire of the views from the sky, and still feel like a kid with my nose pressed against the glass, exhilerated by each passing vista.
