Seattle in Summer

19,8,2005
It was my second time that I have been to Seattle this Summer.
My hasband was looking forward to going to Seattle this Summer for the first time.When I arrived at the airport, I noticed that I forgot my eye glasses.It's a big trouble for me if I have no glasses.I tried to look for eye glasses shop in the airport.At last, I found and bought one. The airplane was full. The seats were all occupied. I felt my foot was very cold same as last year.I wore my socks which I brought.Everytime I arrived at Seattle, I was asked for a finger print and was taken a photograpr for immigration.The time difference was very hard for my body.I bought a lot of Japanese cooking ingredient at “UWAZIMA”and went to my daughter's apartment.First of all I needed a rest.

We went to Victoria on August 21.It took two hours by ferry.Buchart garden was beautiful same as the time I came eight years ago.I made a hotel reservation through internet where we stayed.It was very beautifull,wide and very cheep.It is near the downtown. Besides, there is a sea which you can go on foot for around 2 minites.

We went to Silver lake park of 45 minutes by car. We enjoyed the barbecue and tennis.This place is very quiet, wide and there were few people.

We ate lunch at Cheese factory restaurant that is in Seattle city.The restaurant was very gorgeous and attractive.All the food are in big volume.We were not able to eat at “KOZUE”where Baba-san worked as a part-timer because the restaurant was closed.We watched a baseball game. Ichiro was in front of us.It seemed that the ground was narrow because our seat was on the first row.This day, Ichiro didn't had a good play.

８年前と変わらないブッチャーガーデン。	州議事堂の中は、イギリス風の豪華な装飾でした。
		試合が終わってからイチローが出てくるのを待っていたけれど・・・長谷川が出てきました。イチローは最後に出てきたのでスポーツカーしか見られませんでした。それにしても追っかけは私たちしかいない・・・なぜ？
園内には、色とりどりの花々がたくさん咲き誇り観光客もたくさんでした。
