Burning Up

Today we rode our bikes into downtown Seattle again and had lunch at a restaurant at Pike Place Market. There was a beautiful view of Puget Sound sparkling below...with the ferries and boats coming in and out of Elliot Bay...and the Olympic Mountains across the sound. Merinda had the Alaskan salmon sandwich and I had an albacore tuna melt. Yummers. The place was reasonably priced too...we had three beers (Old Seattle, a brew recommended by our waiter and a good lager) and our bill came to under $40. After lunch we bought some fresh raspberries and cherries. Unfortunately we forgot the sunscreen and both of us got a little (or a lot) burned by the time we bicycled back to Bellevue. It was a Seattle scorcher today...85 degrees. Not a cloud in sight. It is supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow, but it's supposed to cool off again after that. Still hasn't rained a drop on us yet. I'm getting a little freaked out about the whole not having a job thing. I hope something pops up very soon. Having lunch with a partner at a Seattle law firm on Monday in order to get the networking going. I've applied to anything that I see, including the AG's office, which opportunity I'm excited about. It's Merinda's day off and we might go see a movie and spoil ourselves though we are trying to be very budget conscious.
