Jamie and the Bridge Troll

Wishing you all a Happy Holidays!

Corey

This is a Corey from Australia (Australians travel a lot!). He worked downtown at City Hostel Seattle until recently. First going to Buffalo then returning to Sydney for the holidays. I hope to see him again sometime in the future, in Australia preferably! Also a great cook and baker, he made many people happy! He'll be missed.

Jess

This is Jess. A wonderful lady, rock climber and aspiring librarian. Here she is rocking the candy striper outfit for See's Candies. They are oh so lucky!

Luke and tree

This is Luke, one of the other work traders at HotelHotel. He frequently works the graveyard shift (thank you Luke!), is Viking in nature and has a tremendous store of knowledge which makes for interesting conversations.

Note the tree in the background, graciously provided by the owners. I was recently informed that its best to put on the lights first so you can hide the wires in the branches! Who woulda thunk it!
