Amazing Days everyday

so this is official.
this trip is turning out amazing everyday.
i left las vegas on the 31st of July and arrived in Seattle on the same day. i stayed at a hotel that night not knowing where i am staying at all during my time in Seattle. somehow, deep down, i know that it's all gonna work out. worst, i will just pay more to get a hotel, or pull an alnighter hoping that nobody come bug me.
the next morning, one of my millions of sent request was approved although for only one night of my stay here in seattle. she sent me her phone number, address, and how to get there etc. i happily agreed on the living situation, and later found out she had a big cat from the profile.(how did i not see that earlier??) but anyways...sometimes...you just have to do it......
the first minute i got her house, i was a little scared. it's a very cozy house, but somehow it smells very fishy....must be the cat's fault. but she's a nice old lady, and we talked, she gave me some directions, and i left on my journal. i first got to Pike's market. seriously, i wanted to eat every single thing in this place. bakery, coffee, ice cream, fruit, seafood. yes...fruit fruit fruit!!! how does iowa never have such amazingly fresh food?!!??!! and vegetables. i would be loving iowa so much more...if it does.  everything there just smells awesome.....nomnomnomnom.
i kept walking along the market and hit the waterfront. i walked a lot more...like 10 blocks...to the seattle center. and there is another highlight place of my day.
the first thing that i did was to sketch. i sketched parts of a whale...that sounds like a easy sketch huh? lol yes it is....and then i sketched the space needle designed by john graham...lol...but some how i ruined it. what a bad sketch.
the EMP or...MEP is designed by frank ghery. somehow i didnt know this building until my host told me about it... some colored metal pieces came together.....yeah....frank ghery.it's very interesting that his inspiration was coming from the rock and roll feeling...without being too literal about it. and i like how the colored metal pieces reflect eachother,and gave a color on the,otherwise plain ground.
the international fountain was a hit. it's just a fountain, a big fountain. but people are having soooooo much fun getting wet, running around. i took a good break over there, took some pictures, and actually did some 1min sketch of people running around. the sketches didnt turnout so bad, at least i like them.....
taking the monorail after visiting the space needle (it was alright, but good that i can have a broad view of the entire city), and arrived back in downtown area. lots of places are closed already, but luckily , i found borders that provide wi-fi. check my emails. and luckliy and suprisingly, i found another couch!!! Thank God and the way that he provides and sustains. :)

 gotta go.
