Afternoon in Seattle

We arrived at SeaTac in good shape and got our awesome rental car...a Kia Sedona. LOL! All I can say is; at least it's not a Ford Focus! We cruised straight downtown and spent the rest of the day at the Pike Place Market. After capping it off with a table full of crab and shrimp we boogied to our hotel.

First glimpse of the market

Mounted policeman at the market. Notice the horse has his own badge...it's on his halter.


Fish mongers throwing huge fish back and forth. It can't be very easy catching a 20-pound slippery fish flying through the air, but they manage!


Enjoying all the vendors at the market. Notice the all-hazelnut vendor! Yum!


Klara stopped to primp at a mirror along the way.


On our way down to the waterfront for some seafood.


Some very sour wheat sourdough and a pile of crab, shrimp, potatoes and corn on the cob. What could be better on a cold day?


Charlotte catching up on her computer time back at the hotel.

I found this hotel, The Arctic Club, on the internet. It's a very nice place and I got the room at a super bargain for booking it on-line. It was originally founded as a gentlemen's club that catered to the super-rich folks who benefitted from the gold rush. Our room is awesome and there are three domed ball rooms. Here's a pic of the very detailed domed ceiling of one of them. Just gorgeous.
