The nights are long and the days short.
That didn't stop us from traipsing around Seattle, WA yesterday. We may have started our walk to Pier 70 at 1:30 p.m. but our gallivanting led us through Pike Place Market for clams, joke boxes, and books.
We found ourselves facing a GUM WALL. That is right. There is a GUM WALL in Seattle with a city sign that has the words written on it, GUM WALL with an arrow. Yep, I am now a part of that Seattle history. It smelled of mint.
A CREPE filled with ham, Swiss, spinach and egg from a street shop kept us energized as we puffed up the hill to the Mexican restaurant BARRIO to visit with Bethany.
Tequila shooters and Jameson passed our mouths before we shot off to the SPACE NEEDLE. Built for the 1962 World's Fair, that infrastructure provided us with spectacular views of a city so large, even today I still find myself bewildered by it.
I thought it smaller than it really is but the charm of a small town resides within. They stop to let us cross as pedestrians even without a crosswalk. People smile and nod happily at each other like there is some innate need to outwardly express their happiness or at least content feeling that is directly caused by living in Seattle. I mean we had at least three different people offer to take our photograph in front of some landmark. We had to start saying no.
A vibrant city with hills to make the butt work hard, this is a destination to check out.
