I took a little Mini-vacation last weekend and went to Seattle, WA. I must say its a nice city. Tons and Tons of coffee shops! I can see why this was home base for Starbucks Coffee! Speaking of Seattle.. I didn't know that REI started up in this area. Their main store in Seattle is impressive! As you can see from the top picture They actually have a mini bike trail that goes around their store! Also they have a hiking trail so that you can try out the boots! Pretty impressive!
ちょつとしたシアトルの旅に行ってきました。本当にいい町ですね！もうとにかくコーヒー喫茶店がいっぱい。シアトルがスターバックスの本拠地だと言うのがなっとくしました。ええっとシアトルと言えばＲＥＩの発生の地らしいです。シアトルの本店はすごいですね！上の写真を見ればわかるんですけどＲＥＩの本店の周りに自転車トレールがあるんです！後はハイカーが靴を試すためのコースも あるんです！さすがすごいです！！
Other places I visited in Seattle... Museum of Flight! The main reason why I wanted to check this place out was the SR-71(or Lockheed A-12) !!! I absolutely Love this plane!! Even though this plane was built in 1960s its still one of the fastest planes even today( actual top speed is classified but its been known to go Mach 3.2+)! I guess I'm really proud of this plane because I work for Lockheed Martin.. But she really is a beautiful plane! A modern Marvel of Engineering & symbol of American Ingenuity! I'd go far as to say it should be classified as a national treasure! IF you ever get a chance I highly recommend these books!
Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed
and
Sled Driver: Flying the World's Fastest Aeroplane
Skunkworks details how she was built along with U2, F-117A and Sled Driver is more from the pilots point a view.(check out this awsome
Gizmodo Article on Sled driver!)
ほかにシアトルで行った所は。。。ムージアム オブ フライト！なによりも目当てがＳＲ－７１（別名ロクヒード Ａ－１２）とにかくこの機体が好きです！この飛行機は1960年代に作られたのにもかかわらず今でももっとも最速の飛行機のひとつです！（実際の最高速度は国家機密ですけどマッハ３．４以上行くそうです）なぜこれほどすきかと言いますと実は私もロクヒード社で働くからです！本当に綺麗な機体で工学の最高傑作とも言える機体です！この機体はもう国家家宝というべきだと思います。もし機会があれば
を読んでください！ あとＧｉｚｍｏｄｏで本当にＳＲ－７１面白い体験談記事があります！
