Sunday in Seattle

It's a cloudy day in Seattle - but it is not raining so we decided to try the bus to go downtown to the Pike Place Market.  We went once when Bob and Marilyn were here but John didn't see it because he and Bob sat on a bench while we went in.

The nearest bus stop was over a mile away from the house so we looked up the bus stops and found one by a grocery store where we could park.  That's what we did and a bus came within 15 min and we got to ride for the senior fare of .75 each - nomally is is $2.25 on Sundays for adults - what a deal!  Sometimes it pays to be old.

We did a little shopping on the way to the market entrance and I found a great deal on a pair of women's cargo pants at Nordstrom's Rack.

One Ugly Fish

We strolled the whole length of the market and it was packed with people but fun to look at the beautiful fish and produce.  We bought a little lunch of tempura shrimp and calamari - tasty but kind of high in fat content.  Oh well.  We managed to kill several hours and took the bus back to our car with no problem.  It was sure cheaper than gas and the outrageous parking prices downtown.  We may try it again tomorrow to go to Seattle Center (that's where the space needle is).  There is a Folk Life Festival going on there that sounds interesting.  We'll decide when we see how the weather is tomorrow.
