Enjoying Seattle

Monday afternoon we took a walk down to Pike's Market but we didn't spend much time there.  It's nothing like years ago when it was elegant and interesting.  Now it's more like a carnival atmosphere.  (Maybe we're spoiled after experiencing the markets in Portland and
Vancouver BC). 


We met a married couple who each pedal a bicycle cab so we asked them to give us a ride through the downtown.  It was great fun but since it was commute hour we held on tight since we went from sidewalks to street and back and forth.  Downtown Seattle is clean and the buildings are very modern with creative designs.  The one that fascinated us the most was one with a base that was about half the size of the actual building.  Definitely a great engineering feat!
