Café and History

        I would like to share with you how incredible experience I had in one of these cultural activities we have been enjoying in this wonderful program. Not many universities in the world are concerned about giving students the chance to learn about Seattle's history and enjoy different types of coffee almost at the same time; and where is this chance taken?, well The Burke Museum has this interesting fusion. 


      This wonderful Museum counts with two stories, on the first floor you can find a coffee shop where besides drinking the coffee of your preference or any other special beverage you can also spend time with classmates doing homework or only chatting as well as having the great opportunity to visit one on the museums rooms. This room known as 'Pacific Voices' you can see and read about the beginning of the civilization, ceremonies, traditions, about the first inhabitants in Seattle as well as incredible  facts about The Salmon which happens to be of great importance for the Seattleites, furthermore about whales and the way they communicate and the engineering of their body. In the other hand, on the second floor there is a room known as Life and Times of Washington State can learn about fossils, fauna and flora, there are incredibly dinosaurs fossils as well as species that lately got extinguished.

  2. The coffee and the knowledge is a big combination, as you say. And after this visit, drink a cold or hot beverage is delicious with a sharing knowledge.
