Seattle on Sunday

"The sun is gone, but I have a light", Kurt Cobain

Alina and I borrowed a relatives car and drive into the frosty city of Seattle Sunday morning. So frosty, in fact, we had a few yards of skidding on ice on the freeway! (breathe deeply).

We met the France family at a local bakery which is partly owned by my cousin Scott. It's called, "Macrina Bakery" and supplies many local businesses with breads and pastries. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, coffee and tour of the bakery.

Afterwards, my mom, dad, Alina, and myself, went to Mars Hill Ballard, where we met cousins of Alina. The worship band was incredible and Mark Driscoll did a great job of wrapping up the gospel of Luke and addressing generosity in the church.

When church was finished, we introduced my parents to Pike place, where we walked through the markets, saw guys throwing fish, French bakery, and the first Starbucks.

Alina and I finished our evening with Kevin and Nicole (Alina's cousins) t a place called, "Country Buffet", where I "ate my face off". Buffets may need to be outlawed...
