Seattle

Persian Ceiling - Chihuly Garden and Glass; by the Space Needle, Seattle

We're in the pacific north-west on the US side of the border, where I have never been before. We're letting Seattle reveal itself to us through the usual tools (Google maps, Yelp), and (at least for Bruce and me) the less usual tool of short friendly chats with the locals.

When we set out this morning with Annikka and Jeff (who likes to talk with the locals), we were certain we would ride the monorail to Seattle Centre, and less clear on what we would do after that. 

After seeing what everything cost, we took a deep breath and got tickets for Chihuly Garden and Glass and the Space Needle. 

The former was a miracle of colour and form, the latter a familiar study in human behaviour: line them up, make them wait, put them someplace they'll find amusing, and then get them to exit through the gift shop. 

And take their photo. Twice.

Thanks for reading!
