Traveling with Megan - Day 10

Seattle, Washington (USA)

22 July 2014

Seattle has turned out to be an almost magical place.  The nature here is stunning, and though Megan joked several times about Edward and Bella showing up, there were many parts about Anderson island that were so picturesque they seemed unreal and as if we were in a movie.  The water in the Pudget Sound is full of plankton that glow at night when they are agitated.  Last night Megan went night swimming and though it's hard to describe, it's like every time she moved any part of her body the water lit up and glowed.  It was like living in the movie Avatar.  It's called phosphorescence. After she was completely numb (the water was 10 degrees) they all got out and went round the bonfire.  Oh yeah and Megan got stung by a jellyfish. 

So we left Anderson Island today.  We picked the ripest juiciest blackberries at the wild patches they have all over the island.  

We took the 14:30 ferry and drove into the city centre of Seattle.  It was such a beautiful day and they walked all around the market called Pikes place  and watched the dozens of ferry boats going in and out of The port and also went to the market where the first Starbucks is.  Megan forgot me in the car ( the idiot) so there is no picture of me at the Starbucks.  :( she was also very upset by this but here's not much else to do.  We reluctantly leave Seattle for LA Tuesday morning.  Megan's pretty convinced she'll move here one day.
