We are up in Seattle, preparing for my nephew's wedding. Our
nephew's bride arrived from Russia a few months ago and is intently
studying English in an immersion program. Met today with the couple
at Ray's, on the water. Given the Seattle weather, they have a
covered area right on the water and an uncovered area right next to
it. Last year this same weekend was warm and sunny. It's a Seattle
Folklife Festival weekend. This feels more like real Seattle
weather. After settling some details with the coordinator we went
over to a coffee shop to chat. We did a mini-rehearsal in the open
area right where we were sitting - then a group arrived and set up
informal chairs for a meeting in the same spot. A versatile place!
More later!
