6.5 miles.
Let’s start with the important news.
We got up at a reasonable time, coffee, paper, and out the door.
The walk was to go through the University Street Fair.
This is the first of the many street fairs throughout the city, and the one closest to our house. It used to be quite large, but has shrunk about 1/2 in size over the past 20 years. Still, it was sunny today and we actually made a few purchases. One vendor had some beach glass jewelry that I found intriguing, but I did not spend at that booth.
Rey – I did get my Elephant Ear, which I shared with Dad. Miss you.
The walk included about 6 miles before the street fair including a brief walk through greek row (bud light was the first beer can we saw), down the 45th Street viaduct – scheduled to be demolished and replaced over the summer, through the UW sport field area to the Montlake Marsh and Cut, into the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), an attempt at the Arboretum Foster Island trail – where we turned back due to high water (wimps), instead went along the south side of the Montlake Cut to its terminus and back up through the neighborhood, across the Montlake Bridge (again), around the hospital, to University Way and up the hill through the Street Fair and home.
