2005.10.21 - Down to Olympia
< Back to Currently
               
I had an appointment down in Olympia, so I used my "9/80" day to go down there.

It was a VERY nice day... light clouds, blue sky, warm, light breeze... it was an outstanding day, especially for October.

I took advantage of the day, and went to check out the Capital... a "typical" thing for me to do...

Even with the leaves officially listed as "past prime", they looked nice against the backdrop of the green lawns and the capital dome.... It was very nice.
I grabbed a sandwich from Subway, and went over to Percival's landing, where it meets the 4th Avenue Bridge, by the "Thriftway" store, and ate lunch outside, taking a short walk along the docks at the landing afterwards to kill off some time.
I was hoping to see some late-running salmon, but all's I saw in the way of wildlife were some curious sea gulls, begging for a handout.  There were some puny fish, but mostly, it was just the shells of the oysters that made Olympia famous back in the day.

I obliged, of course, and then headed off to my appointment.
