Special Coffee

Last week, I went to Seattle for three days. It was a wonderful trip for me. I visited many places and learned about Seattle history. Seattle is the largest city in the Washington state and there are many places to visit, for example, the Space Needle, Safeco Field, Tillicum Village, Pike Place Market and so on. Safeco Field is the home of the Seattle Mariners Baseball team. It’s a beautiful stadium with a roof that can open and close. Also, Ichiro and Johjima belong to the team. One the day we visited it was off-season, so we could go on to the field. It was a special experienced for me.

My best memory of Seattle was drinking a cup of coffee at the original Starbucks in Pike Place Market. I love Starbucks coffee, but this was my first time to drink a cup of coffee at Starbucks in America, because my friends and I promised each other not to drink in Starbucks before visiting the original Starbucks. I was really looking forward to visiting there. When I arrived there, I was surprised at the size of the shop. The size was smaller than my expectation, there wasn’t seats and chairs for customs. I bought some tumblers and some original brand coffee beans for souvenirs, and a long-awaited Honey latte. The taste was really good, and it made me happy. I felt afresh Starbucks Coffee is the best coffee shop in the world, and my little dream has come true.

During the three days, it was a hard schedule for me. However, we could visit many places and have some valuable experiences, like going on Safeco Field. I wanted to stay longer in Seattle. Next month, we’ll go on our East Cost Trip. I’m looking forward to visiting there.
