Today is the day that the Belizean adventure begins! Once again, I have opted for the insanely time consuming expedition to my destination just to save a pretty penny (or two). So, I am currently in Seattle in the middle of a 12-hour layover - which has now turned into a 14-hour layover due to a delay. Oh well, nothing I can do about it. I should still make my connection in Miami as long as this flight doesn't get pushed back anymore.
I have had a pretty good day in Seattle though. Upon arrival at 9:30am I caught the link light rail at the airport and went into the city and found my way to Sweat Box yoga studio in Capitol Hill. I took the train all the way to the last stop and then had to walk a kilometre and a half. It was way too easy and I was there an hour before the class started. So, I walked around Capitol Hill. The funny thing is that I lived in Seattle for a bit but never really went to this area of town. Not sure why not, there seemed to be some cool, eclectic looking places. Anyways, I took the noon class at Sweat Box, which was amazingly hot and sweaty and just what I needed. I love yoga. Afterwards, I went to some random postal store to send my sweaty clothes home. The postal lady was super confused about what I was doing and I just couldn't have been bothered to explain. But in the end she put them in an envelope and I paid, and off I went!
Then, I continued on with my nice, relaxing day by getting a pedicure. In Canada there is no such thing as a $16 pedicure but in America they are on every other corner. Seeing as I had time on my hands and I'll be wearing flip-flops for the next 6 weeks I thought why not! My first pedicure was only a year and a half ago (not even) in Oakland and now every time I am in the states I'm plotting to get one. So, I checked that one off the list. By the time the pedicure was done it had started to rain so I grabbed some food and made my way back to the Westlake Station downtown and caught the train back to the airport. Not bad for a layover, eh!
