Travel Diary in Dec 28, 2014

I got up and headed for Marine Drive Station to get to Main Street – Science World Station.
At Waterfront, when I was waiting for a train, some passengers including me boarded a train for depot.
But, since the train soon turned back to Waterfront, no trouble happened to me except for the following event.
At Chinatown or neighbouring station to that, two girls boarded the train and either began to hug me.

Another lady made her refrain from hugging. I was surprised at how easily she hugged. After arriving at Pacific Central station, I boarded Amtrak bus for Seattle. Before getting to US border, the bus dropped in at Sandman signature and Pacific inn, both of which are hotels.
At the border, I submitted green card and had to pay tax for entering US.
Soon after entering the US, the bus was running on Interstate Highway 5. But, near Star Bird Road Interchange, the bus broke down, and had to wait for next bus. Because of that, I arrived at Seattle in the evening.

I got back to Westlake and took Sound Transit to SeaTac Airport, which is the nearest station to today's hotel, Hilton Hotel.

I tried to have dinner at SeaTac Airport only to find no favorite restaurant outside restricted area.
So, I decided to eat out at nearby restaurant, Denny's. But, it was closed.
