So much to see, so little time...

I'm finally at Wolf Hollow - I officially start my internship tomorrow! Fortunately, they have a computer, so updating won't be as difficult as I thought it might be.

I had a great time in Seattle, meeting my cousins and seeing the sights. I went all over the city - I visited Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium, the Space Needle, the Woodland Park Zoo, the Olympic Sculpture Park, and the Flight Museum. I got some great pictures, but I don't know if/when I'll be able to post them.

Unfortunately, I was in Seattle for their coldest June on record - on the days they were reaching the new lows! Compared to 100 degree heat, though, I think 55 is rather nice, even if it is gray and damp and drizzly. Luckily, the sun actually came out while I was on the Space Needle, so I got some great pictures there. I managed to get one of Mt. Rainier (who knows if I spelled that right!) in the distance; there were clouds around it, but you could see the top poking through, all covered with snow.

I also think I saw a seal on my ferry ride over to San Juan Island, but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't get my camera out in time to take a picture, plus only part of its head was out of the water.

On the whole, Seattle seemed like a very nice city, apart from being so dreary while I was there. (Though supposedly I just got to experience the typical winter weather.) It seemed very dog-friendly, and the transit system (once I actually found my way to the bus stop!) worked really well.

There are currently 3 other interns at Wolf Hollow with me; they seem pretty cool, even though I haven't really gotten to know them since I've only been here a couple hours.

Hopefully there'll be some great pictures with my next entry!
