Seattle & Canada Trip
What can I say? I had a blast on this trip. First, seeing my cousins and relatives for the first time since I was 6 was more than I can ask for. It's crazy thinking that just a few years ago, we were just 6 years old and I remembered our Auntie Ellen would forced us to wear the same dress so, we could look like twins. Neither my cousin and I, could understand why our Aunt was sooo keen in having all the girls in the family wear the exact same outfits (when all we wanted was a toy). Today, we both laugh at those experiences and even now, thinking about it as I write on my blog makes me giggle.
In regards to my visit in Seattle, my cousin showed me around the city probably more than I anticipated. At first, I didn't know what to expect of the city but, I can definitely say it's similar to San Francisco in terms of the high rise buildings, the weather, the people and the overall vibe. In other words, it felt like home. A few "touristy" things we did, was going up the Space Needle. Seeing this in person is simply beautiful.

The Gum Wall
Although, my favorite part of Seattle would be The Gum Wall because it's interesting. Basically, this place is located just below the Pike Market where, it's hidden in an alley way. I never even heard about this part of Seattle before but, I'm glad my cousin introduced it to me because I loved it!
As a fan of eccentric types of things, this part of Seattle hit the spot for me. To some, the concept of gums spread across the walls may be "gross" but, to me it was more of an art piece. You see stories through the walls and the different creative output that people have done with the gums. One part of a wall had papers (being held with gums of course) that spelled out the words "Prom?" while, others created their initials or shapes. Overall, it was interesting to see what people had done creatively by the use of gum as a form of expression. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gum_Wall
