Great Day In Seattle
We arrived with just enough time to take a quick shower at our hotel in Seattle, where we got this great deal when we booked on-line. We ran out of the hotel and headed to the Paramount Theatre to see Jerry Seinfeld perform. His routine was hilarious, we laughed until our faces hurt; he’s such a clever guy. After the show, we wanted to check out what kind of nightlife was here in Seattle. We ended up at this funny little Hawaiian bar where we drank and danced away a good portion of the night. It wasn’t that big of a night, because we had plans for tomorrow morning, so we headed back to our hotel by 1pm and crashed.
The next morning, we enjoyed our complimentary buffet breakfast, where I had one too many bagels with cream cheese. We then took a bus to the Space Needle. We went up the Space Needle and it naturally was a fairly cloudy day, so we didn’t get the spectacular view we were hoping for. We only spent 5 minutes up there, what a bust. But the Experimental Music Project wasn’t a bust! We had a total blast there.
After that, we checked out Pike’s Market, that’s the famous place where you see fishmongers tossing fish over customers heads. We were all ready over-stimulated by the EMP, but this market threw us over the top! We had to find a quiet place to sit and have some lunch. The waitress seemed to see the look on our faces and she said not to worry, the effects of Pike’s Market will wear off once we have something to eat. So, we gorged ourselves on 2 pounds of fresh mussels in a bucket and some creamy crab dip, which was downed with a few locally brewed beers. The waitress was right, we were back to normal and ready for our next adventure.
We walked a bit more and I couldn’t help but stop at this piroshky shop, the smell of something tantalizing was inside. I thought I’d be to full after lunch, but I couldn’t help myself to a cherry and white chocolate bun of pure delight! So, both of us, over-stuffed and happy, decided to not go out to dinner, but stay in our hotel room and chill with some nice baked artisan bread, cheese and wine, which we bought at the store.
Tomorrow, will be, we’re sure, another great day, we plan to take the Seattle underground tour.
