from hanging with chad and johnny, i was off to my friend dan's place...well...not really his place, but his place for the moment...dan is a polie you have seen on this site before...we actually hit the trifeca with this visit...we saw each other in PA (where he is from too), denver and seattle...now we need to shoot for other continents :) david and i joined dan on his roof on eastlake for the fireworks on lake union....which were outstanding....amazing...incredible...mind-blowing...in other words i really, really liked them....unfortunately the next morning, dan had to deal with the pier of NOAA being on fire....not a great way to come back to work after a spectacular day off...
i love hangin with dan...he makes me look tan....just kidding...actually the great tan is due to all the driving with top down on the convertible and the outstanding weather i had on my visit to washington and oregon....from hanging with dan on the fourth...i headed to port townsend to visit a friend of mine's parents....my friend was paula parris...and unfortunately her and her husband roosevelth died while i was on the ice....it was a bummer...but her parents have her memory living on with a garden in paula's memory...and i really wanted to go out and visit them and see "paula's garden"....i added a rock to it from my visit to alaska....letting her know i was there and was thinking about her...below is a shot of paula's parents...david and thelma...wonderful people...who have a wonderful place and i had a wonderful visit with them....
dinner that evening was back in seattle with my good friends larry and elizabeth...who had finally moved into the city, away from the eastside :) we had a great meal and caught up on all of the fun things they have been doing since i was gone...it was a terrific visit and below is a shot of the three of us....larry and i taught together at overlake...and maybe someday we will get to teach together again somewhere in the world :)
