Sightseeing in Seattle

Bruno, Romina (my Peruvian twin) and I at Dr King Holmes's home on Tuesday night. He lives on Lake Washington, across the lake from Bill Gates. It was very kind of him to have the 130+ of us in the HIV/STD training course over for dinner.

Can you see Mount Rainier above the horizon of Lake Washington? This photo was taken on Dr King Holmes's dock.
A quick trip to the Seattle Aquarium on Wednesday. Did you know sea otters swim on their backs where as river otters tend to swim on their stomachs and spend much more time on land?
I couldn't resist!
We jumped on the Bainbridge Island ferry with great views of Mount Rainier and downtown Seattle. When we got off we happened to run into an old Mounds View friend, Meg, whose parents live there, and she was so kind to drop us off at the local pub where we had amazing calamari and margaritas!




That's all for now, back to class!
