I have moved on from sunny Los Angeles and I am now in Seattle, which is almost as cold as it was in Norway when I left. There is a lot about this town that reminds me about Norway actually. The people look real here, and everyone is wearing Converse shoes. At least everyone worth mentioning.
The main reason I came here was to meet my friend Aaron. I have known him for over two years, but never met him. That sounded geeky. Oh well... it really did not feel like meeting someone for the first time.
I also got to meet his wonderful girlfriend, Pei.
Aaron left for Texas today to go to a meeting... so yesterday he and Pei tried to find him something to wear. They were so adorable, see for yourself:
Today I have spent most of the time walking around time. I can really tell that I have spent mot of the last week on my butt in various cars, driving up and down the Californian highways. I think this was good for me. I haven´t talked to anyone, as people seem to be more introvert than in LA. That´s not the only thing that is strange about this place. Because even though California got the palms, Seattle has a weirder relationship with trees... seriously. They are everywhere. You can be in the middle of a huge tarmac-parking but there will still be a tree sticking up of the ground.
I am not complaining. It´s really pretty.
BUT! I´m going back to LA tomorrow for a couple of days, before I hit Portland on friday.
