What a spectacular day

[ravencallscrows]

Wandering around Pike Place, Cap Hill and Pioneer Square eating raspberries, blackberries and strawberries is a highly recommended activity for a summer afternoon. So is watching the sun set over Elliott Bay, especially if it only takes seventy-eight cents to get the panhandlers to go away.
Seeing the reconstruction of the Pergola is an amazing thing. So is amusing photographers sitting in Pioneer Square with their Hasselblads amidst displays of art running the gamut of media from things which looked to be produced by rank amateurs all the way up to some stunningly executed images.
Drinking double-bergamot Earl Grey tea and listening to Tori Amos the next day is also a good thing.

Sounds like a thoroughly useful and productive way to spend your day. I wish I wasn't forced to sit here at work, wasting mine. Oh well, I have new speakers for my work computer, at least, which makes my MP3s sound nicer. How many minutes until I can leave...

I am hopefully going to get to do that later this month. A minivacation if you will. And yeah, it's a blast! All but the sunset thing...I'm usually back in Tacoma by then.

Sounds like a very enjoyable day.
I MUST schedule down time!

Double-bergamot tea...

Is that like Lady Grey? We drink Twinings' Lady Grey here, which is basically Earl Grey with bergamot and citrus... Tastes great and is fantastic for soothing sore throats, curing indigestion and nursing stomach pain :-)

It is indeed. The difference between the Earl and the Lady (when it comes to the tea, at least) is the citrus in Lady Grey, whereas the Earl just has bergamot to the best of my knowledge
