Greetings from Downtown

We have deposited Cheryl at the airport after a long and delightful day: a morning walk at Green Lake and quick visit to Daniel; a stop at Ballard Locks to see boats, seals, and the salmon that are starting to return; lunch at MoPop, followed by tours of the many pop culture, sci-fi, and music galleries there; a walk to the International Fountain, then a walk back to the Space Needle, which we ascended so we could admire the whole city; and finally Chihuly Garden and Glass, where it was late enough that we had both the galleries and the gardens practically to ourselves! Unfortunately, our van engine light came on when we were en route to SeaTac, so we must deal with that in the morning!
