Yvette the adventurer
Almost ready... blackberry picking is on the list for later this week!
Going under Montlake bridge is kind of a bizarre experience, you can see the underside of all the cars overhead!
Going from Moscow ID to Seattle was like being brought from a desert wasteland to a lush rainforest in terms of entertaining diversions. In Moscow, if you wanted to ‘do something’ it meant you were going to go to one of the movie theaters, the one in Moscow or, if you were feeling a little adventurous, you went all the way to Pullman. In Seattle, for the price of a movie ticket you can do any variety of things and one of my latest adventures was to Agua Verde, a great little paddle club and Mexican restaurant near the U district. It’s a low-key little place on Boat Street and for an hourly fee you can rent a kayak, double or single and paddle around Lake Union, Lake Washington or a couple out of the way spots nearby. I had had Agua Verde on my list for a while so this Monday, despite the drizzle, my boyfriend Jason (who had shown up for a surprise visit that morning!), my friend and partner on many of my Seattle adventures, Yvette and I headed down and rented some kayaks. They came complete with “skirts” to keep any rogue waves out of the kayak and undersized little vests that sort of swallow you if you don’t keep your eye on them. Safety first. We hit the open lake and opted for the arboretum tour, a great choice I must say. And all that paddling around definitely works up your appetite for some great Mexican food and a margarita… I recommend the mahi-mahi fish tacos!
looks like the Everglades to me.
And Jason looks like he’s wearing Athan’s life vest!
I can’t believe I’ve never done this! Now I remember why not… babies are’t very good at kayaking, they stink at keeping rythm.
