seattle continues on and on....

7/23/06 - back yet again...although there were more than two on the last update...maybe this will be the last...maybe not....we'll see....anyway....after lunch with dan...it was off to downtown to meet up with a past student of mine...amy...for coffee and an afternoon snack...down at pike place market....it was fun to wander thru the stalls of the market and get some fresh flowers and have yummy french pastry and iced chai...but most of all it was fun to hang with amy...she is a rockstar and i love catching up with her to find out where she is in life....i know that it will happen worldwide :) thanks for meeting me amy...for some odd reason this picture will NOT post here there or anywhere....so i will add it to my next update...sorry amy...i really did have fun hanging with you...even if the picture won't show it :)

from hanging with amy i was off to west seattle to have a delicious pizza dinner with my good friend chad...chad has previously been seen on the blog a bunch, as he is the one who met me for the tour of egypt....yahoo!!! we went to our favorite pizza joint on alkai, pegasus, and had a terrific visit....chad was the last one to ride in the convertible...and then he helped me return it to the airport...what a fun little car, let me tell you....chad and i rounded out our evening with a stop at a hookah bar in the U district where david met us....chad had blackberry flavor and i had honey...his was better :) check out our cute picture together....

at this point in my visit...steven and jennifer wedding up on san juan island happened...but i would like to dedicate an entire update to just the wedding...so i will finish off my visit here with other shots from the time i still had left in seattle and its surrounding area...below is a shot of my good friend david and i at the fourth of july....david was my roommate of quite a number of years and no matter how much time we spend apart, when we see each other, its like no time has passed at all...he hosted me for quite a few nights and i love this shot of the two of us...just like i love this man :) david you rock my world...thanks for everything....

on the way back from the wedding david and i stopped at our good friend gordon's restaurant...him and his partner have done an amazing job with the place...such good vibes and amazing food as always....the name of his restaurant is gordon's on blueberry hill and it is located on whitbey island...you really should go if you are within fifty miles of the place...yummy!!! below is a shot of david with our food for the night....delicious!!!!!

okay....no more pictures allowed...and i need to add just three...so there should be just one more update here tonight....i hope....onto that...
