Things to See

As one travels across many varied geographies, landscapes and cultures, there are more things to see than time to see them.  There is also a finite amount of energy to expend as one walks around a city.  One has to be discerning about their choices.  

I tend to enjoy "arty" things--sculptures, paintings, creations.  I also like plants, flowers, and animals, and mountains.

 As you can see from his pictures, Gerry tends toward machines and museums, architecture and agriculture.

We negotiate the waters by seeing some things that he wants to see and some things that I want to see.  Yesterday we were disappointed by a Science Center that Gerry wanted to visit, and today we were disappointed by a the Olympic Sculpture Park that I wanted to see.  But honestly, anything would pale in comparison to the Chihuly Glass Garden.

Today we both enjoyed the Aquarium and its colors and creatures.

Another visual treat was Pike's Market, and an incredible layout of goods, both produce and fish, as well as crafts, baked goods, jewelry, and any farmer's market product you can imagine.  It was rather crowded,  but we are very glad to have had that experience.

Tomorrow our journey turns us around and we begin to head south a bit, before we head east.  East is good.

I dare not even say the word.  (the one that begins with an H).
