The things that go on at Caffe Vita /Cap Hill/ Seattle

Today I sat at Caffe Vita from 11:45 till about 3:45
I wanted a change of environment so I brought my laptop and did my work at the cafe.

It is such a diverse busy cafe
I saw lots of couples, joggers, business people, college students, people walking their dogs, a few families, one or two tourists and a few dogs enter the cafe.

While I was working away and drinking my iced peppermint mocha I heard someone calling places looking for a job and setting up interviews, a couple discussing their relationship problems, a business start up trying to sell their idea to a potential new employee, students talking about their current project assignment, and a mother talking to her kids about the zoo they are about to visit.

While I was at the cafe I also did some thing very embarrassing. I accidentally walked in on a lady who was in the bathroom. I have never been so embarrassed. The poor lady looked absolutely terrified. She was supposed to take the key with her to the bathroom but she left the key hanging which resulted in the ackward situation.

Walking around I was surprised to see so much construction and cranes in South Seattle.



Then I discovered Waterfall Garden Park (NW corner of Second Ave South and South Main St.) It's a beautiful 22 foot tall man made waterfall



After a quick detour to Pike's Place Market, we got in the car went to Molbak's. It's the Walmart of plants & flowers. We bought these.

Seattle / Capitol Hill - What an interesting building

I see all these new changes coming to Capitol Hill.
I noticed this building about a month ago. I still can't decide if I like it or not. Any thoughts on this building?

Pictures from Vancouver

Vancouver is amazing. I really hope Seattle becomes more like Vancouver in the next 20 years.
Here are some interesting facts about Vancouver
from the wiki
"Vancouver will be the host city for the 2010 Winter Olympics"
"Vancouver is the 2nd most expensive in Canada (after Toronto)"
"Vancouver consistently ranks in the top five in worldwide rankings of quality of life. Most recently, the city ranked first^[19][20] in a worldwide quality of life survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit. In a similar survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Vancouver ranked second in 2002 and 2003^[21] and third in 2004. Vancouver has tied for first with the cities of Salzburg and Oslo among the UN chosen cities for highest living standards the last 4 years running. Condé Nast Traveler magazine named Vancouver the "Readers' Choice #1 City in the Americas" for 2005^[22]. The city generally ranks first when compared to its Canadian and U.S. peers."
