Fishmongers of Seattle
I came to Seattle on the Empire Builder, I had to travel across 5 States where the scenery changed wildly from desert wastelands to farmlands, to cold snow covered mountains to verdant green valleys. It was an incredible journey on the train, especially being able to sit on the observation car to witness the dramatic land changes.
Seattle is so much better than what I expected, so much so, I extended my stay here. Initially, I was only going to spend the day here checking out Pike Street Market, but I ended up staying the night. It was easy to find a coffee shop with free Wi-Fi here in Seattle, yes just a little humor, and I found this hotel on line at this site http://www.hotelseattle.net, and was able to book a room that day! It was great!
My arrival here was so easy, so much better than my arrival in Chicago. As I said, my journey here was fascinating, plus I got in a little bit of reading and did some blog postings and generally chill. Speaking of chill, as I stepped off the train, I could see my breath, which is a good sign that it’s cold, and I wasn’t looking forward to putting on my winter clothes, but by the time I checked into my hotel, it began to warm up, so much so, I got to shed one layer of clothing before I headed out the the Market.
Pike Place Public Market is wondrous, strange and a treasure. I really enjoyed the fish market next to the entrance; fishmongers throw their fish over the heads of all the shoppers, a great display of flying fish. What was interesting were the other fishmongers who don’t toss their fish around, they just sit around in hopes someone will come by to buy fish, but personally, I’d rather buy fish being tossed about in the air over my head, nothing like eating flying fish.
Well, on to Los Angeles, then to New Orleans!
