Seattle, WA

We went to Park Place Market in the afternoon and it was so interesting. It lives us to what everyone says about it. They had tons of people selling beautiful flowers and vegetables, jams paintings, clothing, and almost anything you can think of. They had a large stand will all sorts of peppers in various arrangements, all so beautiful. We did buy the front bouquet of flowers that the guy in the photo had just finished arranging...and only $15.
Best of all though were the fish barkers. Pictured is one of the fish barkers in the market. These guys are throwing fish and cajoling people into buying their fish. It's all real noisy and pretty smelly too. We enjoyed a seafood basket at a local eatery right on the pier. Shrimp for me and hallibut for Richard. Excellent!
On Nicole's advise, we did visit the Seattle Aquarium and we enjoyed it tremendously. Thanks Nicole!

Traffic is pretty bad around Seattle, we're doing fairly well driving, but will confess we've been given the Seattle hello a few times.
