I had asked for an extra day to look around the town. I woke up at my normal
time (EST, unfortunatly) and hung out in the hotel for a while watching tv and
waiting for morning PST to come around. Once it did i got ready and started
out walking towards the .
(queue simpson’s monorail musical number, while i’m on the subject of the
simpsons
a sorta reference to something in the show.) After walking for a while in the
general direction of the monorail i realized i’d passed up the start of it
when i looked over to my right and saw the track. I decided that i might as
well walk the rest of the way rather than turning back, for all i knew i was
over halfway through its route. It turned out to be a good thing that i did
since it wasn’t running that day.
I got to the space needle and bought my ticket and headed up to the top where
i took quite a few
walked around the rest of the seattle center and then headed back towards pike
place market wandering around downtown on the way. Most of my
Market pictures are actually from the second day. After that i headed down
to the IMax movie near the aquarium and watched both features. I spent the
rest of the day walking around and sightseeing and made it back to the hotel
around dark. I went up to the room and hung out for a bit and then headed down
to the lobbie to sit, read, and people watch for a while.
The next moring i managed to sleep in a bit, walking all over down town wore
me out, and got up and packed my things and headed down to catch a cab to the
airport. The highlight of the flight back was coming up out of the clouds and
looking over and seeing a mountain towering up still higher. This concludes
the trip to seattle portion of the blog, heh.
(Stay tuned…)
