Bumbervistazoo

My oh so clever invented word for two days of the zoo, vistas and Bumbershoot music festival.

The vista you can see above: iconic Seattle. Photo was taken from Kerry park in Queen Anne.

Took a day to go see Woodland Park Zoo with friends; been a while since I’ve been to a zoo. The animals habitats are fairly nice and large which staves away some depression about their confinement. Its fun though, saw all sorts of things.

Today I went to Bumbershoot with some more friends and had a blast. Nearly 10 hours of music! Long day. Unfortunately no pictures from the event; decided to free myself from the burden of carrying a camera and just enjoy the time. Rained in the morning but fortunately cleared up later on.

Heading out tomorrow morning: destination, Mt Vernon, where I have a warmshowers.org host lined up. Hopefully a nice ride. The Interurban Trail connects Seattle to Everett, a good 40 or so miles of off street path! Planning another day on the road after that and then arriving to Vancouver the 10th where I have a hostel downtown lined up. I could easily get couchsurfing or warmshowers but I think I’d rather pay the $25 a night for the ease of meeting people and finding things to do. I think in big cities, hostel is the way to go.
