and I’m visiting with my family in Seattle -that would be a month long visit, while I wait for the visa process to inch (2.54 centimeters) forward. I’m discovering the area. I’m staying just north of the city. There’s a skate park one block away which is also great for trials bike riding when its not raining. I’ve found that that occurs perhaps two times per week? Lake Washington is a two blocks away. Theres a bike path and some small parks that wrap it. With my sister Mallory, I’ve taken a few bike rides along it. At the nearest park, there are often various water fowl hanging out. The other day we watched some cormorants on the docks wave their wings at the water, saw some mallard ducks waddle around eating trash, and looked at a bunch of chicken behaving birds. They were doing the odd chicken walk and bobbing their heads around looking for food along the shore. This weekend I will check out downtown Seattle. I wish I would have done this earlier but I haven’t made many plans this past month becuase I was supposed to leave three time already.

Little nephew Victor, who you can see below, doesn’t look like that anymore. He still a chub of love but now he’s a few pounds heavier and a few inches longer. I think another month or so and he will start walking. I was optimistic at first and thought by now he would stand and balance on his own, but no. He just smiles a lot.

I will put some photos up on the next post. Everybody loves pictures!!
