Seattle!

So, went to Seattle yesterday. We took the bus up, and that was quite possibly the highlight of the trip. All of it was fun, but the bus? Just WOW. It was one of the really big ones that has the bendable area in the middle so it can actually make it around corners. Well, there are seats in it, so me, Sarah, and Daryl all sat down in them. It was FANTASTIC. When we went around corners, our seats would spin, and one side of the area would expand and the other would fold up and WHEE! It was like being on a Tilt-a-Whirl. It was an hour long bus ride, and despite all the spinning I managed to read and not get motion sick. Sadly, the bus on the way back was not as big, so we just sat in the normal seats.

In Seattle we grabbed some coffee and walked a few blocks down to the waterfront and hung out there for a few hours,grabbed some pizza from a pizzaria run by a flock of hot Italians who refused to let us leave "until we had sampled at least one thing" (depends on what's on the menu....),then toured the aquarium. They had these really neat touch pools. I got to touch one of those coral flowers with the tendrils, but it curled up and wilted when I poked it and it made me feel really bad. Other than that it was really fun, and Sarah and I found this one really trippy fish we wanted to steal and take back to the dorm.

An amusing conversation:
Me: (to Sarah) Oh, I left my cell back at the dorm. I was supposed to call Tim if I felt like I was going to commit murder.
Sarah: *Understanding nod and glance up at Daryl, who is walking in front of us*
Daryl: Why would you want to commit murder?
Me: I don't have a reason yet.
Daryl: Do you think you'll have one?
Me: Depends on who feels like being an asshole today.

He didn't get it.
