Wee #hyperlapse of the comings & goings at SeaTac airport

Yesterday I went to Chihuly Garden & Glass.. it was too amazing for words. This piece was inspired by his mum's garden & I couldn't help but think of my mum's picking garden she use to have at ths house I grew up in ❤

Just got back from going up the Space Needle.. forgot it was a public holiday so lots of kids!! We got told on the way up that Mt Rainier is visible only about 60 days a year. Further googling and it looks like it might be about 80 days. Whatever the amount, I am feeling pretty damn lucky to have had such a good day considering it was overcast yesterday & meant to rain tomorrow.

So yesterday was the MLS soccer final. Yeah means nothing to me either.. it did however mean a hell of a lot to the 10's of thousands of Seattle soccer fans because their team was in the final and the final was being played in Seattle. The city tour I took yesterday goes to Pioneer Square, which is a hop, skop & jump from the stadium and it was there that I was caught in a huge crowd of people enjoying the free pre-game entertainment performed by singer/rapper Macklemore (who I actually like).. unfortunately this was as close as I could get to seeing him but I do like the plucky youngster who climb a tree for a better view. Quite a thing to experience, that's coming from someone who has been to a countless rugby games over the years.

I came, I saw, I forgot to go to the gum wall... I had gotten to the other end of the market before I realised and to be honest I couldn't be bothered going back. Do I feel like I missed out? No, not really. I could always start in Brisbane when I get back 😂😂

My time in Portland is over & as I sit here waiting for my train to Seattle, I thought I'd reflect on my few days here... I liked Portland a lot; I like the friendliness of the people, the cool retro signs, how easy downtown is with it's short grid blocks. I loved that I got to experience some autumn colours here but I have to admit, I really loved getting out of the city. I am so sad I only got to experience a small part of the rest of Oregon but what I did see was stunningly beautiful. I was in Starbucks yesterday and my server & I got talking about how I was from NZ. He asked what I thought of Oregon & I told him I thought it was stunningly beautiful.. his colleague piped up "High praise from someone from the most beautiful country on the planet".. I think that sums up how I feel about Oregon. I would definitely come back & explore Oregon more.
