Walk to the Arboretum, visiting the lake and the islands, rough walk back, TJ's shopping, yummy rice and green veggies dinner [Mon 30]

 I'm only exactly a week behind these posts, so this is a big achievement for me. Also ONLY -- haah -- 28 posts behind at this point, compared to everything else, so this is not awful anymore, my blog stats may be saved after all. The following posts are going to be quick and easy, and then the regular crappy posting shall begin. Do not worry, peeps.

After work we walked to the Arboreturn, parents were impressed how they have such a dense massive forest right in the heart of the city. And then we came to the shores of the lake, and they were blown away. And then we walked on those wooden slats between the tiny islands, above the lotus plants and the swamp and it was fascinating. This was the first Seattle park I hadn't gone or approached, so this was an incredible experience for me too. Also parents really enjoyed the nice rich-people houses we looked on the way, maaan how much would I compromise on my life principles to be able to own one of them with somebody I cared for!

The walk back was rough because parents were a bit tired, and it was all uphill, step after step, and man it's only when you've reached the water do you realize how high of the hill CapitolHill is. It's good fun when you're heading out because it's all downhill and you don't remember what misery it'll be when you're coming back. Somehow we made it back, popped into TJ's to get some groceries and headed home.

By then it was dinnertime, and we didn't order any takeouts or deliveries because we couldn't agree on what to get. Eventually we cooked yummy rice, dal and green veggies, and it was incredible.
