Ok. Now to the good stuff.
Seattle was actually a pretty cool place. I liked it there but from what I hear about the rain there kinda turned me off.
On the way into the city I snapped some pics of the space needle.
We got off of the busses and walked and found the famous fish market in Seattle, where they throw the fish to the person behind the counter.
It was packed because all of the cadets went straight there because of Hopkins 'fish philosophy'. The ideas were started by the people that worked at this fish market. The basic principles that a person can follow to live better. Play, make their day, be there, and choose your attitude. They seemed to be following these things very well. They had cadets catching fish and even had Hop join in.
After the fish market went to a sushi bar. Now I know what you are thinking. And yes. I DID try sushi.
I ate a total of 3 California rolls and one spicy tuna roll. It was a very different texture. I'm still not sure if I liked them yet. I'm not going to lie, my gag reflex definitely kicked in on one piece. But I powered through it. And a washed it all down with a sprite. I'm not sure if I'll be ordering sushi anytime soon.
After that we strolled around Seattle and just saw some cool stuff. The original Starbucks, Hard Rock Cafe, Puget Sound. Here are the pictures.
Panoramic view!
We found some brass pigs and I got my picture taken with them
When we got back to where the busses were going to pick us up, some people started the cadets drum and vuvuzela corps.
We got to the housing site and had a Hop talk. We talked about making choices about our attitude. And then he started talking about the one thing that we all don't like about ourselves. And yet we justify it so we feel better about ourselves.
I'm going to bed tonight thinking about that. I want to make my life better. Without lying to myself about things.
Goodnight everyone.
