Hotel Life

So I am living in a hotel for a month and it is certainly an interesting experience. It is nice having a place to call home immediately upon arrival. I'm also in the middle of Belltown with the best of Seattle at my fingertips: Olympic Sculpture Park, the waterfront, Whole

foods, storage unit, pike place market are all within a fifteen-minute walk. There are a ton of bus lines on 3rd Avenue as well. The wifi at the hotel hasn't been working far in my corner of the building (you can tell which rooms are designated for people with pets). I have had to go to the lobby to use the internet, as I am looking for a job in earnest and need the WWW to do so. 

My inner New Yorker loves to walk, but I know at some point I'm going to need a gym. Within a block are a cross fit studio, a barre studio, and a dance studio. There is bikram yoga up the street. I miss Speedball a whole lot :(

Yesterday I found a bike store and picked up a chain and helmet. I was going to get a U-lock and extra loop cord for my back wheel+frame and front wheel. But the guy at the store explained the benefits of the combination lock chain and how a lot of people in Seattle use this type of lock. I told him that in NYC you need three locks for a bike. He laughed.
