More Seattle!

Hi Everyone!

How are you? Good I do hope! =) So today we spent another day looking around Seattle, it was an overcast day - as I hear many days around here are, but we made the most of it! We spent quite a bit of time in Pike Markets, a public market that has many, many stalls and stores selling everything from fish to crumpets to healing hemp ointment and earrings. It was indeed a fascinating place.

We also went on a ferry ride around the harbour here, there is a big port where we watched containers being loaded onto a giant ship, staring in awe at what our goods and chattel shall endure on their big trip back home.

Then tonight we ate dinner at the revolving restaurant at the top of the Space Needle, which is this really tall structure with a space-ship like thing at the top that has an observation deck and a restaurant. For you Aussies, think Center Point Tower, only a space ship on the top instead of the shape it is now, what shape would you call it? Perhaps bucket shape?

Anyway, thats it from Seattle for tonight. I'm off to bed!
Hope alls well with you,
lots of love

The outside of Pike Markets

Pike Place Fish Markets, the guys throw the fish around and chant as they work. Meish had seen a video of them and was super excited to go there in person

The gang outside THE original Starbucks store which opened in 1971 (i think)

Cute Street Art I found

Terry - this photo is for you. I know there is not a photo of us drinking the beer, but trust me - we drank it! I'd forgotten you wanted a photo of the beer being drunk. Shall do better next time! Oh, this was Pike Company Brewery - they gave us a tour of the facility!

The view from where we had dinner. Very spectacular!
