Town hiking
I think hiking around a city is more strenuous and tiring than hiking around a glacier. Lisa and I have both been exhausted by the end of the day here. I suppose, we are spending more time walking here than we did in the National Parks. There is so much to see, and even though this is a friendly, accessible city, there is a lot of ground to cover. We've availed ourselves of the public transportation to get from (and to) our hotel to downtown. Pikes Place Market is fun and the original Starbucks is there. (We didn't get any coffee there, the line was too long). We got lunch at the Falafel King! (the KING!). It was yummy.
Yesterday, after the Duck Tour (we are still tourists, you know!) we took the ferry to Bainbridge Island across the bay, and we both enjoyed the 35 minute sit down on the boat yesterday. Today we hit the underground tour everyone kept telling us about. You actually go under the sidewalks and walk around the city streets from 130 years ago. The tour guide was good, she had a lot of Seattle trivia, and you know how I like my trivia! (Some people on this cross-country tour feel the need to refer to me as "Cliffy" sometimes, but I don't know why.)

I just had a flashback to our Springsteen trip to Philly. I love a good Duck tour. It was me, Katie, Cara, Lisa, Tim, and about 50 of those Red Hat ladies on a Duck going down the polluted Delaware River. Good times!
We thought of you, Katie and Cara while we did this duck tour. The Duck smelled so badly like gas fumes that I actually thought I was mildly brain damaged when we got off. Plus we were really hungry. We were standing at the bus stop trying to figure out where to go next and neither one of us could form complete sentences.
