In the summer of 2013, Andreea came by to visit for a little while. This was her first time in the USA, first time in WA state, first time in Seattle. The weather was the perfect example of summer in Seattle, even though it was already middle of September.<\/p>\n

BTW, funny story, Andreea arrived on a Friday and I was supposed to switch apartments over the weekend, so our first weekend together in 1 year was spent … packing, unpacking and moving the furniture around (it was only a move between floors, but still a move).<\/p>\n

So, after we settled in our new apartment, on a sunny weekend, we took a tiny break from day to day activities and went around the city. First stop was University of Washington where we went into the amazing Suzzallo Library – I believe I have some other pictures from inside, will add them some other time. This inscription though is what stays above the cafeteria… (“Books well read fine tutors make”)<\/p>\n

We walked a bit outside, went to the fountain…<\/p>\n

After that, we decided to go to Gas Works park in Seattle – this park has an interesting story and a nice view of the downtown area. The park was initially a coal gasification plant – and you can still see the remnants of the factory \/ plant around. As to the view…<\/p>\n

Last, but not least, there were two people doing a “color” photo-shoot that seemed to enjoy themselves a lot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the park, we went to the place where one takes the most iconic picture of Seattle: Kerry Park. From here, on a nice, sunny day, you can view the downtown (with the Space Needle, EMP and all the skyscrapers), while the backdrop is beautiful Mount Rainier. So, we took the opportunity to promote our university \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
