Back in Portland after 2 days in Seattle. We did a LOT of walking (so the pizza and doughnuts are gone Murray!) and had a great time. Visited the busy Pike Place Market... it's world famous and filled with local produce, most of which is MASSIVE... Mum you'd love the nectarines I brought, they fill your hand and are so sweet. Lots of fish mongers and local crafters selling their art.
We rode the monorail to the space needle but decieded not to go up it. It was $16USD each and we had had such awesome veiws from our hotel we decided it was better to spend our money else where.
Like the EMP (Experience Music Project) a interactive 'museum' of music. We saw Kurt Cobans guitar, the Jimmie Hendrix experience... it was awesome...Seattle is the birthplace of grunge music...bands like Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden. Took me back to my teenage years. We played with the interactive stations... Mike was drumming away while Johnny played the guitar (which he can actually play). That ticket also got us into the Sceince Fiction Muesum. They had everything from the Jetsons to the Matrix.
Seattle is filled with awesome old and new buildings... we all looked really cool, 4 people, 4 cameras... clicking away at all the architure.
Having lots of laughs... teaching these guys all the kiwi slang... they love that we say "cheers" alot instead of thanks.
We'll I hear the others stirring so best get sorted... exploring Portland today.
