I am
overwhel
med by this city...by its natural beauty; by its people... And here I thought I wasn't a city girl.I'm not, actually. If you dropped me in the middle of paris and told me I had to live there for 5 years, I'd have a hard time. Sure, the croissants and cafe au laits would sustain me for a good 6 months, the musee d'orsay for another 3, but then...I would long for the mountains. Or, at least a view of something more than buildings and metro signs.
This is why Seattle is so appealing; so out of the ordinary. It's a full blown city with buildings and metro signs; one-way streets and pedestrians galore. But, no more than 11 minutes by car from where i presently sit, I am on the beach, sitting on a piece of driftwood, watching sail boats--the olympic mountains, a
dramatic backdrop.
