Day 3 - August 18th - Seattle
Computers come in all sizes!
We’re staying a 2nd night inSeattle , with a BBQ party on the evening. Teryk takes care of electrical issues with the GPS.
I’ve never been toSeattle before so I spend several hours riding around and visiting the areas recommended by Patrick. It is a beautiful city! The water is everywhere, it’s very green each neighborhood has its own character. In the same time it’s maybe too similar to San Francisco to be really surprising without having as much charm (in my eyes). And the traffic downtown was just brutal! Did I mention I hate not splitting lanes?
The pics I took don’t representSeattle at all, but I was just fascinated by the scale of the ‘industrial’ sites like the harbor and all.
Many freeways inSeattle...
But also a lot of beautiful houses, right on the water
I visitedMercer Island where Bill Gates lives and it’s quite gorgeous, reminding me a bit of Sausalito . I didn’t see Bill but I saw some other rich guy (at least with a huge house) who was so bored that he was making a ton of noise with his blower to clean up to the street

This one represents in my eyes the "old/new" Seattle with this factory transformed in offices for some Hi-tech company.
Old and new again
And the fascinating harbor
Then it's time to go home where Patrick is already working on some amazingly good BBQ
A really good time was had by all!

It was really cool to go to sleep while watching the stars last night. The sleep was not so good like it’s often the case for me for the first camping nights. Early wake up again while Teryk is still asleep.
The packing routine is not optimal yet but we leave reasonably early after stopping in this great place for a coffee.
We want to be in
Even if you tell yourself “Hey you’re going to Ushuaia, it’s your dream ride” the feeling for the day is still “Well, I’m going to
The good thing is that we were able to make the Autocom work this morning so were able to chat on the freeway. We were not sure to take them on a trip where simplicity should be key but we decided to give them a try, at least for
Keeping an eye on your unlocked valuables is a real issue on a bike so here we go
We just wanted to arrive in
Fortunately all was forgotten with the wonderful welcoming of Julieann and Patrick! There were also 2 good friends of them staying for the weekend and the dinner was a lot of fun.
