Seattle...

Hey everyone, Wendy here. Love the mermaid pig. Around the city of Seattle there is many artistic pigs....all about the same size but with a different theme. There was one which was half salmon half pig, another was covered in one cent coins, another with wings and the list goes on. Seattle is a lovely city: many harbours surrounding it plus mountains and especially the magnificent snow capped Mt. Rainier (14,400 ft).....it looms higher than anything in the area. Downtown is near the harbour and has many hills which make it interesting and gives views. The Pike Place Market is known for the fish throwing and singing from the vendors...quite a theatre. There is many interesting and quirky little stalls which were fun for all of us to look through....even Mal enjoyed it. While we have been in Seattle we have had the joy of staying at the Sheraton. From camping to 5 star, it makes a luxurious change. (Mal has been able to get a good price by going on the Net). Until next time. Luv Wendy.
