Montlake

The first day or so were spent recovering from jet-lag and seeing the local surrounds. There is a spectacular arboretum just walking distance away, accessed by crossing an overgrown art deco bridge. It's true what they say about everything being bigger in America and the trees are no exception: the effect is quite enchanting. As we walked back we saw a couple of squirrels running about: very cute. I also heard a squirrel making noise from a tree: not so cute, basically a high-pitched possum.
