We woke up to a gloriously beautiful day in Seattle. What a gift! We had plans to meet up with some of my work colleagues for lunch, so we had a nice lazy morning before going into work. I was excited to see my colleagues in Seattle, as we spend a lot of time on the phone together and only have face time once a year. The pitfalls of working remotely.
After lunch, Dennis and I took a walk down to the Pier (yes, we saw the fisherman throwing salmon!). We strolled around the wharf area and soaked in the sun. After a nice 3 mile stroll, my colleague John called and invited us to have Happy Hour with him.
There are so many cool, trendy neighborhoods around Seattle and since we’re from out of town, we don’t know them. Fortunately for us, John, is a wealth of information. I don’t even remember where we went, but it had a great beer/wine selection and some lovely food appetizers. We sat outside and people watched; which is another fun pastime.
For Dinner, Dennis and I ate at an amazing Sushi place, Nijo Sushi. We are not impressed with the sushi in Denver, it just doesn’t meet our expectations. Most likely because it just can’t be fresh product! But, in Seattle, the fish is caught and served in a matter of hours. Nijo Sushi offered a nice selection of fish and the dishes were a decent portion at a fair price. It was Nirvana and we both left there giggling.
