Perfect Summer Day

What a beautiful day this turned out to be. Talked my husband into coming to Seattle for the day/evening. He is a country person, I think he is intimidated, or perhaps bored, by the city.

Went to the NWFolklife Festival...caught a bit of bluegrass music but decided against waiting in the long lines for festfood. Took the monorail back to town and ate at the food court. Actually had a fairly tasty falafel sandwich. I didn't know the mall-like court existed. Not special but handy in that it is a couple blocks from my apartment.

Took a drive to the Alkai Beach area...which is apparently the place for kids to cruise and hang out. Pretty views tho. I couldn't imagine living there, too far from the city.

Here a nice photo of sunset at Alkai Beach near Seattle, Washington:
