Up at 6:30 for personal care, breakfast, and trip to the SYR airport and flight to Minneapolis, then flight to Seattle arriving at 1:30 Pacific time, 4:30 our time physically. Got the rental car, a Ford Fusion, seems like a big car but comfortable. Our Garmin GPS was not working so we relied on Lisa's phone GPS to get us to the motel on the outskirts of downtown Seattle. We are not used to heavy traffic, stressful. Motel has a shuttle which dropped us off at the famous Pike Market Place and we arrived just in time for the "fish throwing". If you don't know about that, go to you tube and watch it. They are really good at it. PMP is an enormous market selling almost everything. I did not see car parts or motorcycles but maybe I did not look hard enough. We did see several drug deals going down while we ate a snack so does that count toward everything? Lisa asked if I noticed the drug deals and I replied that it's probably legal here. People were openly smoking something not tobacco. We decided to graze instead of stopping for a sit-down meal so we sampled some great sausages at a couple places, "The World's Greatest Mac and Cheese", fresh made lemonade (very good), cheese, mushroom kolachke. We looked all over for ice cream for dessert but never found any. Decided to walk the mile back to the hotel and further decided to stay another day and night. We did not want to leave without:
Riding the largest
ferris wheel in the USA, dining in the Space Needle restaurant, and
taking a boat tour of the Harbor. All of which we intend to
accomplish tomorrow.
