1/6: After an entire day of walking, from Capitol Hill through Volunteer Park over the bridge to University of Washington and Fremont and then back again across the water to Queen Anne and Seattle Center, I was starving. My only intake of food had been an apple and the dried cranberries, raisins and walnuts that Lori gave me before I left Whiskey Creek. Every single place I found was just closing, had stopped serving lunch or only had alcohol on the menu.
Luckily, just before I was about to faint, I came upon a sushi place just a couple of blocks from the Space Needle. And guess what? It was one of those funny places where the pieces of rice, fish and vegetables are served on small, coloured plates on a running belt. It makes the eating so much more fun! (Even though I certainly don’t need to make eating more fun. Eating just as it is happens to be one of my favourite pastimes.)
The sushi might not have been the best I’ve ever had, but being as hungry as I was, everything tasted wonderful. And the lemonade I got with my food was so refreshing. Food should be fun, and this was certainly fun. A great meal indeed.
