I've been spending Christmas break running around Seattle calling on old friends and family. It's been months to years since I last saw any of them.

The entries I write for this site usually recap the places I went with friends and what's been going on in people's lives since we last met. But, most of how I've spent my time here hasn't been anything remarkable. Most often it's been getting together to catch up over a meal in the home of a friend or at some restaurant offering food that isn't common in Québec City. (I have happily hit my quota of Ethiopian, dim sum, and Cantonese pastries.)

So, this entry is going to simply be an album of photos. For the friends I haven't yet seen, I do still have a couple more days here in Seattle to get together before returning to finish my term in Quebec City. Book now!

But, that time is to come later. This afternoon, I head down to Oregon to catch up with a couple friends who have moved there in the last year or two.

Next stop: Portland
