Today was one of those days when Seattle is just unbeatable. It has to be enjoyed and can hardly be described, but I'll list a few items here below just to give an idea.
Wife and I went biking around the lake to the Pancake Breakfast at Swedish Cultural Center (SCC). A good 20 miles there in just perfect conditions. After loading up on pancakes and "accroutements" we passed through downtown, over Capitol hill, stopped at Karen's and Kent's and then back over the I-90 bridge and up along the Eastside. A total tour of just over 40 miles.
- Perfect weather, bone dry northerly light breeze.
- Temperature in the 80ies, but a fresh cold morning
- Not a cloud, deep blue skies
- Cute chicks out biking and walking the dogs (one is still allowed to look...)
- Lake Washington filled with sailboats and a few power boats
- Tons of boats on Lake Union and the ship canal, just out browsing
- Town is "alive" and has a good vibe in the basking sun
- Cafes and coffeeshops lined with people enjoying the weather
- Mt Rainer very majestic and statuesque to the south
- A snow capped Mt Baker in the far distance to the north
- A rare Mt Stuart to the east
- Olympic Mountains as a nice "prop" for an even better sunset
A very enjoyable bike ride, some 40 miles all together.
