Initially when I got the apartment at SE part of Bellevue, I was a bit disappointed. The 37th street you need to take to reach here, is soo confusing with confusing forks, unexpected U-turns and missing paved shoulder pedestrian way till hotel.
After exploring the area on foot, i started liking it. The area consists of soo many small trails for non-hiker like me. Last week i discovered that the I-90 underpass has a paved pedestrian way and then there is a mountain-to-sound trails which runs along I-90. Its cool to walk in a tunnel with cars zooming in and out and along the freeway.
Today I went to a trail in Weowna park. It is small park with old growth forest, walking distance from my place. It has various small simple trails for random walking into the woods. Infact, it is among the perfects place for a nice refreshing walk. It is a NOT a park with well maintained garden, which puts this pressure of presenting yourself properly before others, and the pressure of trying to be perfect and pressure to follow social conventions and formalities. It is NOT a not-et-all maintained thick forest, which is soo tough to explore and represent complete cut-off from society and being completely uncultured. It is a park with old growth forest, but has a nice trail and forest is just maintained enough to make it safe and easy to explore. It is just soo peaceful to walk in here, it seems the trees took all your worries, you just feel like at home. And it is soo green and weather was just perfect :)
The day didn't end just with that, the awesome walk is followed by a drive to kirkland waterfront. The two things I miss most in delhi - lake and forest - I just love Redmond for this :)
Then finally ended the day by watching "The Dark Knight Rises" at IMax, Seattle, an awesome movie and the best place to watch it .... The day could not have been any better ....
