Did you know that Seattle was named after a great Indian Chief? Me either. OK-that's enough lessons for now. This was a fun trip not a field trip. And Seattle was so much fun it might just require multiple posts. Let's start with a semi open air market.
Lavender sachets, fresh veggies and even magic tricks. You can find this and so much more at the fabulous Pike's Market.
Just steps from the waterfront and arriving cruise ships it's a beehive of activity.
SEATTLE'S GOT TALENT!
This talented fellow was playing the guitar, hula hooping and taking turns singing and playing the harmonica all at the same time. Now that's what I call multi-tasking!
This guy rolls his piano down the street from corner to corner to perform.
Amazing colors and scents
Would you bar-b-que anything that looked like that? I swear they have the weirdest food here!!
Does anybody smell coffee. Just follow your nose to 1912 Pikes Place and that heavenly aroma drifting out the door and down the sidewalk. You've arrived at the original Starbucks, established 1971. We stood in line with tourists and locals alike for bragging rights. I know lots of people back home in Texas have had Starbucks but how many can say they've enjoyed a piping hot Toffee Nut Latte prepared at the very first Starbucks? At least one.
All of these sights,sounds and smells - I'm on sensory overload. And this was just the first day. More sharing to come!
