Sleepless in Seattle

Last weekend, I took a trip to Seattle, Washington, with two of my colleagues. It was so much fun (after handling business, of course). We did A LOT of walking... uphill and downhill walking; what a workout! As predicted, it rained throughout the course of our stay, although not too much. Our hotel location was perfect as it was within walking distance of many destinations like Pike Place Market and the Space Needle. We had a variety of chowders from Pike Place Chowder, and I have been craving more ever since. So delicious! We went to Chinatown, where we introduced our "Mejicana" to some "Chinito" goodies and lifestyle. We also "Gangnam Styled" during one of our walks in the park. We found a few bars to watch baseball and football games at, which was pretty cool. I do have to say though -- parking there sucks; that or we are just spoiled with wide parking spaces in California. And driving at night in the rain was not cup-of-tea. All in all, I liked it! :)

After a disappointing week in baseball, I am pretty excited for Sunday! The SF Giants are trailing the STL Cardinals 3-2 in the series. That means the last two games (yup, hopeful that there will be a game seven) will be in San Francisco, and I'm going to be there on Sunday for game six! Keep those particles coming, please!
