CLAMS


We were at Pike's Fish Market last night in downtown Seattle to visit and eat after 9 hours of skull-breaking class yesterday. I needed the break. We ate at a very cool on-the-harbor-fish-speciality restaurant. I had, according to the menu - 'AN ACRE OF CLAMS' - which also cost 'AN ACRE OF MONEY,' by the way. But it was very good. Nothing like you would get anywhere close to home.

Then we stopped at the VERY FIRST STARBUCKS, located just a few blocks from where we ate. Old wooden floors and very small - quaint.

Afterwards, waiting for our car to be brought to us, I got into a short conversation with a lady I didn't know. She asked where I was from. When I told her, she finished our conversation with: "I could tell you weren't from here because you're awfully cute." I just had to share that.

:)

And be blessed.

Seattle is one of those cities that I fell in love with. Wish you could have had time to take the underground tour ... Very fascinating.

Arif and I were there several years ago and we too visited Pike's Fish market. We were there for over 5 hours and it seemed like 5 minutes. I just love that culture. Having worked in the customer service in the airline industry for so many years and then owning a travel agency of our own, it really was amazing to watch what true customer service is all about!
