Since there is too much to catch up on since my last post, I'm going to let the photos do most of the talking, but here is a brief synopsis:
New York City (photos)
Spent a nice fall weekend in NYC. I think it's one of the few cities you can keep going back to because there's just so much to see and do. I'd already done all the usual touristy things (Empire State building, Wall St, etc. etc.) on a previous visit and the weather wasn't super, but there was still more than enough to fill four days, just walking around the various neighbourhoods, visiting museums and parks and catching a local poetry slam and an Aaron Sorkin play on Broadway (The Farnsworth Invention).
Victoria (photos)
I went to visit Sam who moved to Victoria (that's Victoria, British Columbia) about a month or so ago. It was my first time there, even though it's just a ferry ride from Seattle. It's a cute, quiet little town with lots of historic buildings and some nice little shops and eateries. Next time I head to Vancouver Island I want to check out the Pacific coast which is meant to be really rugged and beautiful.
Halloween (photos)
Although it wasn't my first 31st of October in Seattle, I didn't do much last year except visit the scary corn maze in Everett. This year my friend Jordan organised a Halloween party so I got right into it! I went to Red Light (a thrift store on Broadway) and managed to put together a Mary Poppins outfit, then added some fangs and blood makeup to make it Scary Poppins. It was good fun to see everyone dressed up. And I won best costume!
... my friend Jordan, who turned up to say hi to me last night dressed like this (see photo below).
If you can guess what he's meant to be, I'll give you a prize. Hint: he's pink and under a shoe...
