MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
I'm off to Vancouver, B.C. in a few hours to spend the holidays with some friends' relatives.. It's an excuse to do some sightseeing as well and stuff. ;) Some pix below in Seattle after we got our visitor visa in the Canadian consulate.
[Clockwise, L-R: Very 1st Starbucks in the historic Seattle downtown; Christmas tree in Stewart St.; In front of the world-famous Pike Place Market of the "FISH philosophy" and fish tossing fame; Space Needle; a park in the downtown; the terrible I-5 traffic on the way back to Portland; A view from the park]
