| Sunset. The mountains are stunning. |

| The bay with shipyard and ferris wheel. |
 |
| I took a tour of Seattle underground (like many cities it is built in layers). This is a self-portrait, underground. See me? |
 |
| More Sesttle underground. The debris is from an earthquake in the 1940s. It was all dumped underground. Handy! |
 |
| More underground. A story? |

| One of several fish markets in the Pike Place Market. |

| Hello handsome! |
 |
| I loved these pepper bouquets. Sorry it's washed out, I am still learning how to take pics when there are light sources nearby. |
 |
| My favorite part of the whole day. This man is the last traditional totem pole carver in his family. His sons are in Iraq, so he is teaching his brother-in-law how to make these. He told me stories about each totem pole. I took this picture with his permission. |

| This man was singing songs in Spanish, using the long pipe as a percussion instrument and playing the harmonica. He was speaking, with great animation, to people I couldn't see. These young men stopped to speak with him and treated him with such respect. It was a wonder. |
 |
| The grossest tourist attraction I have seen. Part of the gum wall. |
 |
| You know how you sometimes see glass inset into the sidewalk? This is what it looks like from underground. Cool, huh? |
 |
| I love alleys. |

What wonderful discoveries, Laura! (I except the gum wall.) My son Jack lived in Seattle for 3 years while he was going to Chinese medical school and I visited the city occasionally and loved it (tho it's too far from Maine), but I never saw all that you did. Thanks for taking us with you!
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful. I don't know that I will ever get to Seattle, so thank you. I would love those pepper bouquets hanging in my kitchen! They are so bright and cheery.What a fun way to bring color in.
