Seattle

On Thursday we took our requisite day-trip (and then some) into Seattle. Unlike with our trip to Victoria, we unfortunately weren’t accompanied with beautiful weather as the rain had returned in full force. But Seattle without rain just wouldn’t have felt right, I guess.

We had some free time before our lunch reservation, so we decided to walk around the Pike Place Market for a bit. It wasn't our first visit by any means, but it was still nice to peruse the various offerings and see some of the famous fish tosses…











For lunch we headed back to our regular spot – Elliott's Oyster House. As always, the food was excellent.











And here’s a group shot that the waiter was kind enough to take after the meal.

After the marathon lunch, the majority of the group stuck around for some drinks at the Irish pub Fado. It was effectively a cousins’ night part deux, and a good time was had by all.




















Here’s a shot of the group walking back to the ferry for the return trip home.

And here’s a shot of downtown Seattle during the ferry ride.
