It's my birthday, so i took a break from the terrible shitshow that is my country in general, and took a stroll along the waterfront in Seattle with my husband.  We've lived near the city for a year now, and this is the first time we've really gone down to explore -- don't worry, we'll be doing it again soon.

We hit up the Five Point Cafe for lunch -- fantastic Cuban sandwich, and really amazing fried cheese curds (tried them with honey for the first time -- so so good) in a tiny punk ass bar with rainbow stickers on the windows and an anti-Trump protest sign leaning against the restroom wall.  I loved it.

Then we wandered over to Pike's Place Market (super crowded) and to the waterfront, where we went up in the Great Wheel -- the sky was wonderfully dramatic.  

Seattle is a good city.  I had a good time.
