First Time in Seattle - Day 4

My last full day in Seattle was meant to be less hectic. I started my morning with a cup of cappuccino and a vegan sandwich that for some reason I had to wait for a long time. Patience... Patience...

I took the train to Seattle Needle and headed north to Kerry Park, a tiny piece of land that you hardly can even call a park, maybe a small square, at best. The view from this little spot was quite spectacular...

I then took an Uber to Discovery Park, a real park this time with a hiking trail! I enjoyed walking along the dirt pathway, something that I have missed in Seattle. I am glad that even big cities have a small piece of land that is still devoted to nature. While it was within 10-15 minutes from Downtown Seattle and still packed with people, I could see myself getting lost there without seeing a soul for a while, especially on a Monday afternoon. 534 acres of beauty!

I later checked out another highly recommended destination Golden Gardens Park. While I wasn't as blown away by it, it was a nice beach destination for the locals. In the meantime, I explored the neighborhoods as I refused to take Uber and opted for walking... well, and eating... and more eating...

I was so tired that I decided to grab a smoothie and sandwich and get an Uber on the way home. My Uber ride turned out to be pretty unique. The driver just kept picking up other people on the way to my destination. An hour and a half later, I finally got to my AirBnb and was happy to take a shower. I wonder if anyone has spent in an Uber 1.5 hours...

My trip was coming to an end. While I enjoyed my time in Seattle, I can't say I fell in love with it like I did with San Diego or Southern California. My next trip in the area would be Mt. Rainier, and this time no city life, just hiking and hopefully cabin living :)
