Today was a bit of a “rest day” only in the sense that I didn’t walk very far afield today. I spent most of it sitting in front of my laptop getting the log entries up to date and posted.
I did have a stroll around the world famous Pike Street Market, which was quite amazing and full of everything. The famous fish stall near the entrance was quite a feast of entertainment as the guys do a little act from time to time which entails throwing a large fish over the counter.
I did my usual several blocks walk around to get myself orientated and tried out “Seattle’s Best Coffee” which did not disappoint (still wasn’t quite as good as Serious Coffee though).
As previously stated I spent virtually all day typing up my blog entries and getting them posted up to the point of leaving Anchorage. Having done that it was late evening and the only thing open nearby was a Subway shop, so I had to have a format “sandwich” as my evening meal. Everything half decent nearby shuts at eight so I will have to bear this in mind.
Having sacrificed my first full day for you dear reader, I decided to get an early night in order to plan my pilgrimage activities over the next couple of days as I am in the holy city of God Past – James Marshall Hendrix.
The Experience Music Project will be visited as will the statue on Broadway and, of course, homage will be paid at the Holy Shrine – the least I can do is say “thank you”.
I will have to get a picture of the mural on the smoking room wall which shows a wonderful montage of Seattle. I will post it on a future blog entry and you will see what I mean.
My first impressions of Seattle are good, the place has a good vibe to it and music tends to be playing (all sorts) wherever one goes. I look forward to exploring it.
