We woke up refreshed and happy after a great sleep in our cloud bed. Loren ran down to the lobby in search of coffee. The hotel apparently does not offer breakfast, so we got dressed to head out in search of java. That is a sentence that is pretty ironic. Having to search for coffee in Seattle? Isn't that what this place is known for? Starbucks can be found every 50 feet at home, yet none to be found in Seattle.
We found a local bakery across the street and attempted to get coffee. I guess the rest of Seattle had the same plan because the place had a line that stretched down the block. We continued our search on a day that is exactly how I pictured Seattle- chilly and rainy. We found coffee and had a great morning drinking coffee and exploring the neighborhood around our hotel.
Seattle seems a lot like NYC- just cleaner and with less homeless people. I always read in the news about the terrible homeless situation on the west coast. We experienced that in California, but not here. Everyone we see has on their backpack, rain gear, and busily walking to work or tourist-ing.
The nice drizzle turned into pouring rain, so we came back to our cloud bed and just had a lazy day of reading and tv. We were able to run thru the rain to a Japanese take away and brought some really yummy food back to our room. We changed out of our wet clothes and into Hotel Andra robes. Yep- this is vacation!
