I Heart Living in Seattle

Spring has sprung! Yesterday’s weather was gorgeous and much had to be done about it. After my one class of the day, Jules picked me and Paul up from campus and we went out to lunch in Pioneer Square. Not really having much of an idea of where we wanted to eat, we wandered around ’til we encountered the aroma of barbecue. More specifically, Longhorn Barbecue. The place was pretty fantastic. Even the employees who worked there acted like the happiest people on Earth (and not in the obnoxious way). I can always appreciate enthusiasm for meat. For about six bucks each, Jules and I shared a big plate of barbecue beef and pork ribs, macaroni salad, and two servings of corn bread that we could hardly finish. A pretty awesome find on a sunny day.

Afterward, it was time to walk off some of the barbecue before we hit Ben and Jerry’s for Free Cone Day, so we walked around the waterfront.

Me and Paul’s attempt at replicating a clothing ad.

We found a spot at the end of Pier 56 to hang out and enjoy the view. I took photos. These two pigeons were hopping on top of each other ’til we realized they were having sex. Feeling all sorts of weird, we promptly left and drove back up to U-Village for some free ice cream. The line wasn’t bad when we got there and no matter how many times I take advantage of a free ice cream day, I still find it odd to approach the register without my wallet out. In any case, ice cream was had and the mission of the day was completed.

Later that night, Jules cooked dinner for me and Casey and then I ran off to Capoeira again. Only half the original class showed up for the second session, but I can’t complain about that. It was a good workout. Anyway, I like my Tuesdays.
