Seattle is great. Even on a gray day, the air is crisp, and it's great to be outside in the city. I love walking around without an agenda and soaking in the sites. Food in the International District (I'm still full) and antiques, books, and music in lower Queen Anne. Cup of coffee in hand and no place in particular to go.

I saw a huge group of birds scavenging for food near the dumpsters outside an asian food market. When anyone passed, the flock took off, but immediately returned to the grub.
