Seattle, Day 1

I love Seattle! It was overcast and chilly/windy down by the Waterfront, but it didn't rain at all! Yay! Adam's parents were gracious hosts and took us around all day on Friday. My favorite was Pike Place Market. Adam has been several times, but he wanted me to experience it for myself. Fish markets were everywhere, and it was fun watching them throw the fish back and forth to each other!



I also was envious of all the fresh produce. It looked fabulous and made me wish I had little markets like this around the corner and walking distance from my apartment.

The fresh pasta part was unreal. They had everything from fig olive oil (which I stayed AWAY from) to chocolate angel hair to this North African harissa fettucine.

Adam also took me to the very first Starbucks at Pike Place. It tasted the same, but hey, at least I can say I've been there!

Some famous gold pig? Who knows?

This man was picking out the fish people ordered and throwing it behind the counter to the men who would weigh it, package it, and price it for the customers.
