Seattle

 This past weekend, we took a little trip to Seattle.  We were only there for 2 days, but we squeezed in as much as we could while we were there.

We visited Pike Place Market, which was a scant few blocks from our hotel.  They have tons of interesting things to see...fish...squid throwing, anyone?  And, most of all--lots of delicious food.

Here is a random sampling from our little trip.







Chowder sampler from Pike Place Chowder, my favorite was the seared scallop chowder.

Towel swans at our hotel

The Moore Hotel, a very old hotel that has been recently renovated.  We stayed in a suite, which was very much like having a little apartment right in the middle of downtown Seattle.

 Piroshky, Piroshky...Russian for "absolutely delicious".

Clark's favorite, the fresh fruit from the market.

 The bag says it all.

Rainer cherries--my favorite--as fresh as they get.

A Napoleon from Le Panier

 My little bundle all bundled up.

We rode the monorail to see the Space Needle

Puget Sound

 And what's Seattle without coffee?

We had a good time in Seattle.  Was it dreary and did it rain?  Yes.  But it was the Pacific Northwest & we definitely enjoyed our visit.
