I decided to have a haircut last sunday since I feel that my parents will end our relationship if I left my hair longer that that, so will khun kratai. 

My job interview shoes :'( ... This trip made me realize that Timberland makes darn good shoes. 

On the way back, Brian, who is Ali's close hiking friend dropped me home. I gotta take this photo because of this car! Anyway, he said he was thinking of changing to BMW which made me real sad... :P 

Me and the Three Finger in the back. Do I look like a hiker??? 

This was from the point we stopped and turned back after 6-hour hike. Do you see a blue dot at the top of second mountain? That is the lookout my boss intended to take us to. I just found in the website just now about this trail "The hike to the lookout is very difficult and strenuous. The last 0.5 mile of the trail requires mountain climbing equipment expertise. A short, steep section of the Three Fingers Glacier must be traversed, followed by a rocky scramble and ascent of steep ladders to the lookout on the south peak of Three Fingers Mountain. As there is considerable exposure, those using the cabin and ladder must determine for themselves if the climb to the lookout is safe. Maintenance of the lookout is performed by Everett Mountaineers."

Lesson learned: Study the trail before you go hiking!

It was initiated by my boss-Ali who is a serious hiker. We went to Three Finger/Goat Flats. The trail was super hard for me (but my boss mentioned it before we went as 'not super easy') We didn't make it to the lookout since it may have taken us too long but the distance in total was 12 miles. We went up at 11am and came down at 9pm :S This is not even close to my last hike at Rainier...

Just found this site from my ex-colleague's blog. I think it is pretty easy to write but the idea is pretty good. Check it out here.

Ichiro Suzuki: the most famous M's player. He seemed to catch the ball better than being a batter that day. Mariner lost to Athletics 0-5. 

Thanks to Expedia for giving us the tickets to Mariner's Game last Thursday. As show in the picture, it was a wonderful day, but the game sucks :P. Never thought that baseball can be this boring even though I watched it at the field itself... 

Look at the path we took. We so underestimated this trip. It was uneasy and scary! 

Isn't this fantastic? 

The next day, we went to Mt. Rainier as we intended. This trip made me realize why so many people love hiking. 

Then, we decided to take a ferry to Bainbridge Island. We incidentally found a super nice restaurant, Cafe Nola, on the island. We promised to ourselves that we gotta take another ferry to just eat at this place again before our internship ends!

It was a wonderful Saturday. Actually, we intended to go hiking at Mt. Rainier but it was quite cloudy in the morning so we decided not to. Anyway, we went to Fremont Fair. This picture was on the roof of the pub (which I think opens during daytime only this weekend). Daytime pub, sunny day, a glass of nice sangria... so nice...

Finally, we had a nice seafood dinner with No at Pearl Oyster Bar. And this concluded our 10-day east coast tour :D

Ground Zero: another great US marketing. 

Pa^ with his favorite sculpture in the Met. 

The mansion we stopped by on our way back to New York: The Breakers.

Another thing to convince you that american's marketing is so good: USS Constitution.

Quincy Market... 

The previous one was Harvard. This one is MIT. 

Then, we proceeded to Boston. Unfortunately, it was really cold and raining so we didn't take as many photos as we should have. 

We then took a boat ride down the Falls the next morning; very fun and wet... 

Before the day ended, we arrived at Niagara Falls finally. We can imagine that it would be way more beautiful on Canada side. Next time: Niagara and Quebec! 

Then, Corning Museum of Glass
