Saturday, Br. Dat and I decided to venture over to Seattle. Seattle is about 2 and a half hours from Yakima. We left at about 8:30 AM. It's quite the beautiful drive from Yakima to Seattle as you could see from the photos taken from inside the car. Nice mountain views and lots of trees! 
Our first stop was actually at Br. Dat's uncle's house where we dropped off some things for him. After that stop, we proceeded to Seattle.
We arrived around lunch time, so Br. Dat suggested we do the Chinese brunch of Dim Sum at a Chinese restaurant in Seattle's Chinatown. It was interesting, but good Chinese food. To the right, is a view from the parking lot of the Chinese restaurant. Being a baseball fan, it was cool to see Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners.

After lunch, we decided to head down to the pier to walk. It was quite an amazing walk, lots of people too. We walked about 2 - 3 miles I would say.
After that walk, we headed over the the Pike Street Market, another amazing place with a lot of hustle and bustle. Bought some postcards to send out and a shot cup for my mom who collects them. We also made a stop at the original Starbucks. Wow! It is, sadly, a tourist attraction, says the guy who went in bought a drink and took a photo. 
It was a nice Saturay!
Sunday, was a day to sleep in since mass was not until 11:00 AM. We attended mass at the St. Joseph Mission, doesn't compare to San Xavier Mission, but it was nice to see it. It was actually an outdoor mass because of the occassion. However, it was cold! Everyone warned me about how hot it would get (still waiting), but no one warned about about the cool weather. Not complaining, but let's just say the Sunday night low was 38 degrees and it was windy!In the afternoon, I headed over to the school for the final preparations. The had been waxing the floors, and since my classroom was last on Friday, it means having to move all the furniture back in! Once that was completed and I got everything else set up, I headed over to Starbucks to read for a while.
Br. Dat prepared dinner, delicious fried rice, and then we took our 2 mile walk around the park. Br. James came in from L.A. in the evening. I did some reading and postcard writing before heading to bed.
