Seattle Update 2

Hi Ya’ll (I feel more Southern after riding in our rental car from South Carolina),

We had a great day yesterday. We started out in Seatle Center, where the Space Needle is. We decided not to make the trip up, though, as such would cost $52.

We traveled downtown on the original Monorail built for the 1962 World’s Fair. That was fun. We then ran into Nordstrom’s, and saw the flagship store. Once we we out of there, we saw the fish mongers at the public market downtown. We noticed that although they throw real fish, they also have a frew fake fish that they throw.

We ate at Ibar’s, a fish market on the sea. After lunch, we went back to the monorail, which was closed due to a power problem. We returned to the Seattle Center on a bus, and got our car.

From there, we went up to Kerry Park, a scenic overlook of the town. I am enclosing a picture that I took there (with my cell phone).

After seeing the town, we went to see Mickey, one of my dad’s friends. We ate at Red Robin and then went on to see a waterfall and the waterfront of Lake Washington with them.

Wow! What a day. Sorry I didn’t write to you yesterday. We didn’t get back until after 11pm local time. We were all tired.
