The Call
My friends reached out recently. They wanted to come to San Antonio for a visit. Yes please, that would be awesome!!
Of course, things weren’t quite that simple and we had to chose another meet up location. After some consideration, we settled on the city of my birth, Seattle, Washington, aka the Emerald City.
Without realizing it, this visit turned out to be the exact thing I needed, at THE perfect time. I got to spend a weekend laughing, dancing, singing, drinking, and playing tourist with my besties, two women I’ve been adventuring with since forever!

Greetings
We did the list of things, like: a stroll through Pike Place Market, coffee & souvenirs at the very first Starbucks, a shopping experience at the Amazon store where you fill up your cart and walk out. I wonder if this is the future of shopping? Of course we had to visit the Seattle Center and the snap a few picts from atop the world famous Space Needle and we wrapped it all up with a ride on the Ferris Wheel at pier 57.
I have a confession to make, I wasn’t scared standing on the observation deck of the Space Needle but I can’t say the same for that Ferris Wheel. I kept anticipating a sudden drop from a great height and that single thought had me anxious enough to shut my eyes. There was a moment though, when I peeked through my lashes long enough to watch as we slowly came down.
That sudden stomach-in-your-throat free fall I’d been anticipating, never came. Waah-waah. That’s the moment I felt silly for being scared in the first place. I also get that same anxiety whenever I get on a ski lift and once while I was on solid concrete. I caught a case of the nerves while climbing 650 steps to the top of La Piedra del Peñol, a massive rock in Guatapé, Columbia.
I still wouldn’t say that Im scared of heights but they do challenge me to work on my relationship with fear thats for sure.
Adventuring with my forever friends was short but powerful. It helped me replenish my low supply of love, laughter, friendship and connection. Thanks Ladies!! I can’t wait to do it again somewhere else in the world. Maybe by then I won’t be so chicken to get that tattoo….
