On Saturday, Devon and I rode his Ducati down to Alki Beach in West Seattle with some of our friends.
Who knew that there was an actual beach in Seattle? It looks across Puget Sound towards downtown Seattle.. You can see the Space Needle in one direction and the Olympic Mountains in the other. There was a girls’ beach volleyball tournament going on while we were there. Lots of people sunbathing and everything… A real beach! 
Oh! Also, Alki beach has its own mini Statue of Liberty… Kind of like the one I saw in Tokyo. Weird.
We got tasty snacks at the Alki Bakery and people watched for a while. We watched a guy *cough* tool *cough* drive up in a Ferrari and try to parallel park. It was terribly awkward. I think most guys who drive cars like that are trying way too hard to make up for something that they’re lacking: in personality or other regards.
Anyways. It was a really nice day. Nice to ride the motorcycle. (even if the highway is scary) Nice to discover a new place. Nice to hang out with friends.
I totally want to go back and bring my swimsuit some day this summer.
