Day in the city.




Nice sight to wake up to!! Yes another disturbed nights sleep. 2.30 am screams and cries from next door.

First stop Seattle Arts Museum sculpture park.





Confess we were side tracked into visiting the Patagonia and North Face stores. A few essentials purchased. Then wandered by the waterfront and down into the old town district where we spent an age perusing books at the Elliott Bay Book Company. Fabulous old school bookshop.



Seafood lunch in Pike's market. Then off to the Seattle Arts Museum to look at the permanent collection. Some lovely turn of the last century oils of heartland America. Also some Donald Judds, Rauschenberg, Rothko, Pollock etc





Julia headed off shopping whilst I recharged my caffeine levels and watched the heavens open once again.



Spent the evening at Queen's City Grill. Best meal of the trip. Oysters, alaskan king crab, seared ahi tuna, fantastic.
