Around Town

I, along with three of my new friends here at school, ventured out today to Downtown Seattle. Lunch with Marie and Danielle consisted of a salad with chicken, green beans, tomatoes, and a vinaigrette dressing. We ate a second lunch at a Pagliaci pizza joint in Capital Hill because Colin, the fourth addition to the group, hadn't eaten yet. Decent pizza, but nothing spectacular. I think it's the water used to make the dough. A local pizza joint in my hometown near Los Angeles ships water all the way from Boston to make its dough. It's fantastic pizza so I guess they're doing something right. We continued by foot to Downtown, where we sat and chatted over some iced coffees and an Italian soda. We enjoyed some organic, locally-grown "pluots" at Pike's Place Market while watching those fish fellows throw around tuna. Back at the dorm we settled on the café's Asian stir-fry selections. I opted for the tofu. Unfortunately, the pieces were a bit too large. After the EFS bonfire we drank some bubble tea at Yunnie's on the Ave. Quite tasty! So, overall, it was a rather delicious, food-filled day. There are so many options up here in Seattle, and it's wonderful talking with new friends over a cup of coffee.
