First Day in Seattle

San Francisco was warm but covered in cloud, and the whole trip to Seattle was cloud covered until we were almost there. I was surprised at the mountains out the plane window - there was the occasional cub taller mountain covered with snow when everything else didn't have any.

As we landed one of the big ones was very close - I guess it was Mount Rainier.

Seattle was in sunshine, and when Ginnie picked me up we went across to west Seattle where you can see Seattle spread out before you. 

The gardens here are very nice - much better than the ones in normal places in LA. And the irises are out.
