A wide concrete pier extends into the Puget Sound. In the distance under a mostly clear blue sky — just some whisps of light clouds — are the Olympics, with snow at the highest elevations.

A big golden brown croissant sits on a plate beside a cappuccino in an angled, tinted glass cup.

I got out to ride the 2 Line to downtown today, where I had a croissant and a cappuccino at the beautiful Boon Boona cafe that sits above the waterfront. What a beautiful spring day!

There are some casual clubs in town that organize periodic group ferry rides – what a treat! Taking photos with other people who dig ferries! They look like fun and I’d like to join sometime. And it reminds me of the time I got severely scolded by a ferry crew for taking too many photos. Times have changed.

A restaurant store-front lit up in early morning dimness. It has brightly lit windows set in the concrete facade of the building.

This small corner shop would become the place where I got the most delicious and satisfying meal of my trip — a luxurious katsu curry.

A pile of photos in the Journal app.

The MacOS Journal app feels so half-baked. I thought I’d try it for a travelogue of my past week, dragged some photos to it, and it just dumps them in a pile. There’s no arranging, scaling for layout of landscape and portrait, nothing. C’mon, Apple, I’m trying to not shell out for Day One again, here.

I love being able to walk to the coffee shops. This morning was chilly, still in the 30s when I made my way after my morning spins and grocery stop.

The back of a Fujifilm X100VI, a pair of lightweight dark gray gloves, and a cappuccino cup and saucer site on a wooden counter be∏hind a shop window. Outside is a bit of leafy autumn street lightly lit by morning sun.

Checking in on the sunbeam puppy this day after Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day was wet, very wet, so the sun coming out warm and full today was a real pleasure for, well, the entire neighborhood.

A colorful tiled wall reading MAIZ in sharp almost pixelated black tiles on a whilte background. Below it is a countertop lined with canisters of dried corn of many colors and sizes. Below the counter is a wall of multicolored tiles in floral, hearts, and patterned designs.

Three tacos in a cardboard clamshell. They are dark blue corn tortillas layered with chicken, carnitas and steak, topped with thin slices of pickled onion and radish. They look mouth watering good.

Hitting Maiz has been on my list since moving to Seattle, and today I had an afternoon to explore the market on my own, so I stopped in for tacos. So good! What a spot.
