Wacky Road Trip IV - Observations, Highlights, and 'You Had To Be There' Reflections (Day 4)
Saturday, 07/22
9:00AM (or thereabouts): Into the city we go!
10:30AM-4:00PM: After breakfast …mmmm, donuts …we check out Pike's Market and other similar venues that are nearby in the open-air market locale (and underneath! …The area has a wide-variety of stores that are located below street level). It's quite entertaining. My goal/request/'monkey on my back' of nurturing my inner-geek (i.e., buying some toys) is fulfilled.
4:00 PM: Time for a bite to eat …we head to a 'Taste Of Seattle' type event to sample some cuisine unique to (or at least specialized in) the Seattle area.
They have brats.
Seeing as how we're from Wisconsin, we already have a familiarity with brats, so that (combined with the extremely high temperature and humidity …oh, didn't I mention …we seem to have brought the warm weather and sweat-dripping humidity with us, as Seattle is undergoing the hottest temperatures they've had in many a moon …oh well) prompts us to decide to head to the air-conditioned comfort of a restaurant that our hosts are familiar with. It's rather unique in that it changes the theme of the décor/menu on a monthly basis.
Coincidentally (and what a marvelous coincidence it was), they have a southern California/Mexico-related theme this time around, which includes in the décor, heavy doses of Mexican wrestling (i.e., Lucha Libre)!! The placemats and menu contain pictures of various masks, including the exact one that was gotten by Super HOTPA …we are amused.
6:30PM: Off to the beach to provide Bag Man with the opportunity to snap some pictures of the local flora and fauna (i.e., girls in swimwear) …many pictures are taken …no, let me rephrase that …many, MANY pictures are taken. I limit my picture taking to the water, sand, and sky. It's only coincidental that some of the afore-mentioned girls in swimwear happen to have gotten in the way.
8:30PM: We head back to H-D and Alice's home. We have to leave and head back to Wisconsin sometime tomorrow …now we are sad.
