Combined language lesson and exercise




Highly caffeinated urban hiking, lots of steps, a scenic mountain bike trail, great conversation with friendly locals, great nearby dinning in any direction. Minutes from the U-district in Eastlake going up to Capital Hill.

If you continue to walk (going east) at the top of the steps you will come to the cemetery were Bruce Lee and his son are buried. A civil war cemetery lies adjacent. Many ghost sightings are reported here, especially this time of year.

Usually I walk with a Pimsleur audio language lesson. Mandarin, Japanese, or Tagalog.

So if you pass me and I am muttering something unintelligible, you're free to try to decipher or communicate in any of those languages mentioned above. (I would love to add Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian)

  1. Good scenery! I love the red and yellow leaves! Watch out for ghosts there.

  2. My hiking friend and I found another set of steps close to the first set and going up to E Howe.

    I love the changing of the seasons and the colors as well.

    There were quite a few beautiful ghosts and demons at the Snolqualmie Halloween party.
