My apologies but this has to be short and sweet.
Yesterday we decided to do a tour of Seattle as we didn't know anything about the city. We have found this is a good way to orientate ourselves with whatever city we are in and find out about the sights and the different areas.
We decided to split the sights into two days so yesterday we went down to the wharf, had a look around and had lunch, then in the afternoon we went to Pike Street Public Market, famous for throwing the fish. After we got back to our room, we met one of our new roomies who is about the same age as our parents and is from Chicago. She decided to run away from home for a week ;) but she has plenty of tips for when we get to Chicago (our next stop).We ended up joining her in the bar next door to watch the Green Bay Packers play the Chicago Bears (her team) play Monday night football (the big night for football apparently). The bears won.
Public art down at the wharf
(they have heaps all over the city, it's so awesome)
Pike Place Market and Farmers Market
The famous fish shop
(I missed out on a shot of the fish flying through the air)
Produce at the market

Thanks for not giving away our ages Jess! Shame you didn't get a pic of the fish throwing but hope you got more of the public art. xx
