Seattle, Revisited: Permanently

 I have just arrived in my new city!  

I was so excited walking down the streets in Capitol Hill this afternoon as a current resident, not just a visitor!  I faithfully ignored the young people outside QFC asking me if I would support Planned Parenthood, and wondered if there was a convenient back entrance so that I could avoid this permanently. 

I wanted to tell people passing on the street that I had just moved here and today was my very first day!  And it feels great to be here.   When I first moved back to New York four years ago, I cried on the plane leaving California.  I also cried in the middle of Washington Square Park after a security guard was rude to me, and right before I had to take my ID picture, creating a lasting testimony of my despair.

I spent the last half hour contemplating the city via Googlemaps, and am now onto the Seattle Wikipedia entry.  This city is pretty big, and I know none of it.  I didn't even know what bodies of water I am surround by, or have North and South correct in my mind.  Now I do!

Get ready for some exciting historical facts.
