Hey guys! So, yesterday was super-eventful! We ventured through Pike Place Market for about four hours. There was SO much to see: corner musicians, boutiques, bakeries, book stores, the Pike Brewery, the Gum Wall, and flying dead fish. We took tons of pictures! We also walked to the Waterfront for a bit…and yes…we took more pictures ☺ Afternoon brought a craving for a sweet treat and we found cheesecake truffles (Like a cakeball only cheesecake). They were good, but they were no cakeball! ☺
On the way back to the hotel, there was a large immigration reform rally several blocks ahead in the major intersection to get on the freeway. It was so bad people started driving in reverse on the side of the street for about half a block back to go around. Yeah, we sat in it for about forty-five minutes. And, randomly, a driver next to us pulled out his binoculars to see what was going on down the street. Who the hell has binoculars within reaching distance in their car?!
For dinner, we walked to T.S. McHugh’s (an upscale Irish pub); we had a beef and Guinness Pot Pie, pot roast, and beer! Interesting enough, our waitress was a recent graduate from San Diego State University. Originally from the Bay Area in Northern California, she went to State and moved up here last year. She also has a cousin in Grants Pass, Oregon where my brother lives. Small world, eh…
