Play a Little Music




The piano is one of 8 that are placed in public places around Everett, like the library, cafes, a few businesses, etc. The pianos are decorated and are real street art. As I've traveled on this trip - street art has really captured my attention and delighted me whenever I find it, by accident.




No one played while we waited for our train, darn!




We rode the Cascade, a commuter train between Bellingham (northern WA) to Portland. We had a movie, if you had earphones, leather seats, a table and a very quiet ride - even though the passengers seemed to be mostly students.
Although, we began the ride sitting across from a retired couple from Arizona who had lived in the Seattle area and shared their experiences of sailing their boat in the Sound. - Then sat across from a young man, 28, who shared info about his job of auditing companies who want to be certified as using natural resources in a responsible sustainable way - like certifying organic foods, kind of. He had an interesting backstory -- I am getting really good at asking questions finding out stuff - good thing this was a short ride.





Bob is napping, but we are in city center near the free light rail and free street car lines so I plan on hitting the town soon.


POWELLS , the biggest bookstore in the whole world is here - page me when the train is here!
