Allan had breakfast, biscuits and gravy, at the club house this morning. Then we drove to Bainbridge Island to catch the ferry to Seattle. It was rather chilly this morning and there was fog/haze which made our distant pictures poor quality. As we neared the Seattle port we were able to get better pictures.
Our first stop was to get lunch at Ivers, a famous fish restaurant. Then we walked along the harbor and then up the STAIRS to Pike Street Market. The market has several levels of shops and many outdoor vendors. You could find about anything there (clothing, miniature cars, fresh fish, vegetables, baked goods and flowers)
There was a cheese festival going on this weekend so we were able to watch them make cheese.
We were impressed with the fish market as the vendors tossed the fish to each other.
There were many street people, both beggars and entertainers.
There was a wide variety of people of different nationalities and languages. It was like a sea of people going and coming, some even brought their dogs. Even though there was a multitude of products for sale, we did not see many bargains. Allan and I did indulge in some pastries though.
We also saw cruise ships anchored at the port and we noticed many container ships entering, leaving and being loaded.
The harbor was also filled with people sailing.
Our day in Seattle and the ferry ride was quite enjoyable. I think this is my first ferry ride. It was neat to watch the cars and other vehicles load and unload on the lower level.
Daryl and Nancy happy anniversary.
Our hearts go out to Mike and Pat McFall who recently lost a son, Mikel. We will keep you in our prayers.
