Day Two: I Heart Seattle!

Wow, I think I'm in love...with Seattle that is. We had such an awesome time yesterday just wandering around the city. One of the great things about it is how close everything is to each other. You can pretty much walk to wherever you want to go, or take a quick monorail ride. The city is really clean, and the air is just so crisp...and the light...well, enough about it. :)
It also feels really safe. Amanda says she used to walk home from work through the city at night by herself and never felt afraid. That's mind boggling to me! I guess coming from Atlanta, that just seems so unreal. I'm sure we are just in a tourist cloud and unaware of things, but that's just the feeling we got here.

We got up around 10 and walked down the block to...you guessed it...
That's right....one of about 150 or so Starbucks in the city. Our Starbucks actually faced another one across the street!
After we got our coffees we headed down the street to the Market. I know it's such a touristy thing, but it was really amazing. So many cool photos ops. Here are just a few...


There were some interesting characters. This guy was collecting funds to get cats spayed and neutered...Bob Barker, is that you?
Laser Cats!
We thought the cops here were interesting. So little crime, they were able to take pics of tourists...

And some more of the scenery...







We met up with Amanda and Todd after lunch and decided to take a ferry up and around the city. Got to learn some stuff and get some great pics at the same time. Imagine that.



By the time we got back, we were so tired and lazy, we took a bike cab back to the market. I couldn't zoom out wide enough but here we are on our ride. Poor guy.


Later on we met up again and went to Buca di Beppo for dinner....delish! Full on pasta and tired from the booze we headed back to the hotel to go to bed. We are now getting ready to head to the airport for our flight to San Francisco! We are so excited...gotta pack it up!!
