19-Aug-09 USA Trip - Day 17

Steve & Kristi decided that, as we'd missed out on breakfast waffles during the drive north, they would make us some waffles for our first breakfast in their home - great fun and great taste. They had a rehearsal that morning prior to an afternoon performance in Seattle with the Celluloid Cowboys, so we got to meet Bill and Lynne who also tucked into waffles before the band rehearsed.

This gave us a good opportunity to catch up on the domestics and we drove a few blocks to a local laundromat - the few folks there were mostly reading books or magazines while the machines did their stuff, but not jiva... we had the netbook with us, so we had time to catch up on some of our blog drafts.

We explored the area for a few blocks, eventually finding a pharmacy where we sought advice regarding what appeared to be a couple of bites - Val always ends up being bitten wherever we go, the major drawback of hot and sunny climes for us. And boy is it hot, reminiscent of Florida with the temperature in the 80s.

In the evening we decided to go see a movie and we came away having learned a lot of distressing things about farming and food production and large corporations - we'll certainly look at burgers differently from now on, thinking twice about what we eat and where it came from.

Back at Steve & Kristi's we talked until the early hours before getting some shut-eye before the next day's trip to Mount Rainier.
