John drove us all into Seattle today. This is the first time Twila and I have been in downtown Seattle. Most of the time I would avoid it like the plague. I guess it is what you are used to, but the number of people and the amount of vehicles on the road is a bit much for this country boy. I figure I could do it but I really don’t want to. Anyway, we went to the Space Needle and like any tourist got a ticket and went to the top.
If you’ve ever been to the top of the Space Needle you know what a view it gives you of the entire Seattle area. It was a little cloudy so we couldn’t see Mt. Rainier but you could see a lot of the bay area and where the cruise ships are berthed.
Of course it gave a great view of the downtown area.
I also got a good picture of John and Janine House.
After we got down from the Space Needle we walked down to the pier area for lunch at a place called Antonio’s. It was a Sea Food Restaurant and actually had fish and chips better than we got in Alaska and cost about half as much.
We then walked to an outdoor market called Pike Place Market. We might have enjoyed it a lot more if it hadn’t been so crowded. They had some very nice fruits and vegetables but we didn’t buy any. The only picture I took there was of some flowers growing in a planter up above the street.
We must have walked over 2 miles and a lot of it was uphill but it was worth it. We had a great time.
