Day 0: Seattle sightseeing
This morning I picked up my Old Man Mountain Ultimate Lowrider front rack from the UPS Store, then headed over to Recycled Cycles to get one last tune up before I hit the road tomorrow. The guy was super nice and didn't even charge me for giving the bike the once over. Very nice.
Next I met up with Mark over in the U district where we had Thai food followed by a tour of the UW campus. We hit two bookstores and a library, and I got two paperbacks for the trip, Salinger and Pohl. Here are some shots from the library:
Mark also showed me around the quad and the math department where he has his office, then we caught a bus downtown to check out the Pike Place Market. There wasn't any fish throwing going on while we were there, but it was fun and we did see some awesome pepper braids:
From there we walked over to the Seattle Public Library, which was designed by Rem Koolhaus. It's a beautiful building, with lots of colorful accents. The coolest part is the book spiral where you can walk down the aisles which are marked with the Dewey Decimal numbers on the floor.
We finished up with a delicious dinner at the Black Bottle. Then I followed Mark back to Kim's place where he hooked me up with some white gas for my stove. I took the bus back to Mark's place, stopping for groceries along the way. Tomorrow morning I'm going to get all packed up again and hit the road. Exciting!
