Day 12: back onto good times

no one can deny our good fortune during city stays this trip. The day started, as it often does with a good run- this one in Seward park on lake Washington. I've been here before, but it's a great path with good views.

From there, we met Kate's friend Rachel and hit the town. She was actually into browsing pikes place market with us. I've seen most of these places before, but it's Kate's first trip to Seattle and you gotta do it. We had a lot of great samples and lunch at breeches(?) cheese. From there, we perused the Ballard locks and strolled through the neighborhood. Stopped at peddlers brewery for a beer and kavu for a little shopping.

Cooked Rachel and Ben (her fiancé) some pizza for dinner to cap off a fine recovery day.
