First Impressions

As soon as we got into Washington we passed a VW bus show car on the back on a flat bed on the other side of the highway.  A few minuets later we saw two more buses, three air cooled beetles, a type three square-back and a thing.  We got off the highway to get gas and saw a dasher (I thought it was a fox wagon with a different grill, but Sherm told me it was a dasher - something I've never seen).  I lost track after that how many other Vanagons, mk 1s and 2s, and air cooled VWs we saw.  Not to mention all the other awesome old classics and euro cars. 

The first thing we noticed about Seattle, even just driving into it on the interstate, was how much greenery there was: giant trees right next to the freeway, vines and bushes hanging down from over passes.  Everyone we met who has lived in Seattle has told us this is the best time of year to move here.  They weren't wrong.  Everything is so green and in bloom.  The sky and the ocean are so blue.

It's not just the nature that is beautiful around here.  The architecture too.  Its amazing how much a mix of styles and ages of buildings there are, but they all look good together.  I can't wait to explore the rest of the city!
