No Bushes in Seattle

Our trip to Seattle was very enjoyable, but not very eventful, save our ultrasound. The climax of our visit as tourists came a top the Space Needle on a cloudy, but not overcast day (as seen in the picture). We did a lot of exploring in our Chevy Imaplia and just basked in the missed pleasures of the good ole U.S. of A: street signs in English, Whole Foods, Quizno's, Cheesecake Factory, Mexican food, coffee shops, Old Navy, wide streets, diversity of people, commercials, and understanding strangers. We also noticed things we didn't miss: homeless people begging for money, waves of fear walking through the bad parts, tipping, and being conned (yep, conned out of a dollar). We saw so many Kerry signs as we explored Seattle and only spotted a single Bush sign. I think Seattle is one of the more liberal cities.
My visit to the school, Mars Hill Graduate School, proved to be a confirmation of what I imagined, and that's a good thing. I really connect the mission and emphasis of the school. It is a cutting edge school focused on contextualizing the gospel. If you want to check out their web site, it is www.mhgs.edu.
