Summering in Seattle

Seattle seems like a long time ago now, a busy September and an even busier Michaelmas Term, have whisked it away to being a distant memory preserved in photographs and the LEGO Space Needle above my desk. In fact I'm quite grateful I started this blog, if only for my own benefit, as a journal of my experiences. I had to write up my trip as a requirement for the various sources of funding I received (Thank you Durham fund, Ferris Travel fund and Royal Pathological Society) but that was quite a stale, and altogether scientific, report. And in a way I guess this blog also served as another report - to my parents - hopefully it in someway compensated for their generous support. Anyhow I was recently flicking through some of the aforementioned photographs on my computer and realised that there were quite a few great (or even just pretty) photos which had never been published; mostly because they just didn't quite fit into a simple story or post. So this post's for them, so they see the light of day and don't forever languish in the dark recesses of my hard drive.
