Seattle

Today Cork and I spent the day preparing the RV for the next leg of our trip.  We ended up building and installing a GREAT storage cabinet where the Captain's chair used to live.  The best part about it is that it will leave enough room in the substorage that we can stash one of our travel bikes.  Things are starting to come together!  It was, however, a pretty work intensive day, so we've decided to stick around for another day or two.  That is the wonderful thing about this adventure, there are very few deadlines.

Last night we went to the MOST AMAZING restaurant for dinner.  It's a place on Capital Hill (which is close to where we're staying) called Skillet Diner.  WOW.  And it was REASONABLE!  Southern fried chicken and waffles, pot roast, beet salad, trout, some of the best lemon curd I've ever had... and slightly irreverent waiters, which is kind of fun.  Animal and Bennet know everyone, so by the time dinner was over we'd met at least three of the staff who had all lived in SF at one time or another.

After dinner Cork, Lily and I walked back to where we're staying.  It was just warm enough not to need layers.  Lots of people out on bikes, walking, hanging out on their porches.  Seattle always feels like San Francisco 20 years ago...
