A visit from my brother, kitty friends, starting to feel at home.

My brother arrived with his friend from Cleveland and brought kitty friends along. His friend when off with her friend for the entire weekend and Mike and I got to hang out tromping thru the city. The kitties were fine on the flight though Monkey almost got away - Mike looked down to see her little head popping out of the bag. That would have been a serious delay.

Thursday: We went on the Seattle Underground Tour (so interesting!), to a couple of pubs (one thing the siblings do well together - drink), out to dinner at the BEST Mexican restaurant in Seattle (La Carte) with Pyg and Jon, off for a night cap. Friday: I headed off to work; Mike went to the Space Needle, walked to the peer, around Pike's Place Market (where he saw, among many things, the guys throwing fish) through the downtown mall, all around. We met for more drinks with friends after work on Friday at the Dragon Fish, then to the Pig and Whistler to shoot some pool. Saturday: Mike's friend picked us up, breakfast in Queen Anne (5 Spots - delicious), toured the city a bit, went to Issiqua where friend had his house he had just sold. Went to Snoqualmie Falls (of Twin Peaks fame), ate lunch at Pike's Place Grill (fresh fish), friends left; we found a pub to watch the Bronco's game in Fremont, stopped by a party (lost yet another earring), went back to La Carte for late dinner. Crashed out. Mike went home this morning (the ONLY sunny day of his three day venture in the city) - we had a great time.

After dropping Mike off at the airport, I took a walk with my friends around Green Lake. I came home and curled up on the air mattress on the floor with my kitty friends and took a nap in the sun.
