Sounders' March

A lot has happened in the last few months: graduation; two months of studying for the bar; and most recently, an epic cross-country trip in celebration of the completion of the bar exam. Phase 1 . . . Seattle!

Heidi and I travelled to Seattle and stayed by one of her good friends. There were a lot of great sites to see. Below are some of the highlights.

A necessary visit to the original Filson store

On our final night in Seattle, we were able to take in a soccer game. The Seattle Sounders took on F.C. San Francisco from Panama in the first round of the CONCACAF Champions League. The Sounders won the match 1-0 and won the series by scoring an overtime goal. The atmosphere was amazing, and began even before the game started. As part of Sounders' tradition, we joined the "March to the Match" as fans processed from a nearby park to the stadium. Along the way we chanted Sounders' cheers to boost our team spirit. Below is an except of one of the cheers.



If you ever get the chance to visit the city, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the up-date. Glad you could have some free time after your years of study and bar exam.
