family visit

[solarbird]

Minion Anna had family in town for a few days; we’ve been showing them around town and also took them to see Ghostbusters, which is why I haven’t been online much. (Holtzmann is now my crazy crazy movie science girlfriend! ♥)

Playing tourist host is really quite odd; it makes your own town feel like some sort of theme park. But I’d never gone to the Chihuly Garden at Seattle Centre before, and that was really rather more interesting than I’d expected. I took a bunch of pictures, here are some of the ones I liked better.

I've quite enjoyed tourist-guiding in both Stockholm and London. It's a way of seeing a city with fresh eyes, as it were.

I definitely felt some of that, too - mostly at Seattle Centre, where it felt like, "...I really do kind of live in a theme park, don't I?"

I just realised that in some ways it's similar to teaching, forces you to approach something you know more-or-less by rote from a different angle, hopefully leaving you more informed, if sometimes a bit confused.
