Yesterday we had another blast. We need to buy a cable so we can plug our camera in to the computer before we put any pictures up. We hung out a bit in Ballard and Fremont, both of which are super cool neighborhoods, and a little bit in Queen Anne, which is all right. Basically just walked around and took it easy. Got our pictures taken with a giant Lenin statue and a VW-eating troll. We stopped by a pretty sweet record store (Sonic Boom in Fremont) and their used selection was incredible. I had another brilliant beer at McMenamins. We woke up at 6:45 so we decided to stay up late so we could sleep in longer today. I mean, it really sucks to have to wait around for 3 hours before anything even opens. So we went and saw Everything is Illuminated, the movie based on Jonathan Safran Foer's first book. It was quite good. We made it to 7:45 today.

Another note about King County Metro: partly because of paper transfers and free ride zone, and partly because they only stop every three or four blocks (compared to one or two in Minneapolis) the service is very quick. It's not extremely frequent (I haven't seen anything more frequent than 15 minute service, I think Minneapolis has five or six 5-10 minute routes) but they have trolley buses. We need trolley buses.
