More visits through Sunday and Monday to the Asian Art Museum, China Town, Museum of Seattle History, Seattle Aquarium, Qwest and Safeco Fields, Seattle Waterfront, University of Washington, Microsoft Museum, a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island, etc, etc.
A reception for Wei was held Sunday afternoon at the home of Bob and Sandra Terry which was attended by the Seattle contingent of Spirit of Utah travelers. It was a wonderful visit with our good friend Wei.
