Many years ago, I visited Seattle and stayed with a relative. Some good
memories of that visit included a ride on the famous Space
Needle, a ferry ride to Bremerton Island, a Starbucks coffee at the original store
in Pike Place Market, and a drive to Vancouver, Canada.
I appreciated the day visit in
Vancouver because it was my first visit to Canada. I love Bremerton Island as well. Unfortunately, unexpected things happened. Due to some uncomfortable situation, I had to cut short my visit and headed to
California.
My recent visit was in June. I went to Portland, Oregon, and because I had time before I go back to New York, I decided to fly to Seattle to visit my embassy friend, Flor. I took a bus from the airport to her place in Tacoma. It was a good one hour ride.

She and her sister served
me lunch with my favorite adobo. That was a treat! After lunch, they took me to Lakewold Gardens in
Lakewood. The place was so peaceful and relaxing. The hot weather needed a cold drink, so we went to Starbucks for a drink. Then we drove to American
Lake and to Don Bosco church.
It was a short visit, but it’s worth my trip. We haven’t seen each other in five years, so it was a great time catching up stories about our embassy days.
There is always a reason to revisit Washington. One is to see friends like Flor.
