I woke up later than usual, growing more tired by the day, and took my bike to the Harley dealership. It was Sunday, and the service department was closed. Fortunately, one of the salesman grabbed some tools from the service department and re-attached the kickstand in a matter of minutes, and sent me on my way with no charge. Thank you, kind sir.
Seattle was in my sights. But after just 270 miles and after leaving Oregon and entering Washington, I saw a sign that read "workzone ahead". My mind read it as "warzone ahead", and I panicked for a short time before realizing I must be tired, and should finish the 126 miles to Seattle the next day.
Monday morning was nice and sunny, and I happily rode to Seattle, the second of the four corners!
The Space Needle is the landmark I designated for corner 2, and drove directly to it! It just so happens my hotel is right next to it! Half my goal is complete! Two out of the four corners!
Because I've been feeling so tired lately, I decided to take a three day break here to rest.
Tuesday I spent most of the day in bed, with one quick trip up the Space Needle. Wednesday, which is today, I checked out Pike Place Market to see the guys throwing fish. If you don't know what I'm talking about, google it. I also intended to get a coffee at the very first Starbucks, but the line was ridiculous, so I took a quick look, and headed back to my hotel.
Wednesday evening I met some friends of a friend. A friend of mine, who's from Seattle and living in Korea, put me in contact with her friends, and we met for dinner. It was really nice of them to meet a lonely traveler and make me feel like I had friends in Seattle! Good times and delicious dinner!
