A day in Seattle

Today we collected Heather from University. She navigated Dennis and us to the car park under Nordstroms where Doreen shopped for replacement clothes etc. We visited the Pike Street Market, a vibrant and great place to mooch around if you haven't been there. It reminds me of the Grainger Market in Newcastle on Tyne but in one long line: King Salmon, gigantic Crab and Halibut in their hundreds, along with fruit, veg, arty stuff and entertaining buskers. Walked down to the jetty for lunch and back, caught the Monorail to the Space Needle, up to the top and back down again, then Monorail into the shopping centre where we gorged on chocolate dunked orange slices and strawberries. Returned to Tacoma for a meal out, collecting more replacement clothes en route. Friendly natives and pleasant City. All this with jetlag too!

Sorry, but that's the we spell it and we invented the language!
