So it's been about four months since the last post. During that time I moved back to the lower 48 so I guess my Alaska Adventure is officially over and done with. Now for the next chapter in life.
I flew up to Seattle to get my car which was supposed to come in on the barge and then drive down to San Francisco to see my sister and family. Unfortunately Alaska seems to be getting pounded by some truly horrific weather and the barge is stuck in Valdez. Hopefully they will be able to get out soon. Lots of flooding, wind damage etc.. Kodiak also has had a few large earthquakes!
Hmmmm.... maybe I am glad to be out of Alaska for right now lol.
At any rate, in Seattle I was able to visit with some friends and do some sight seeing. It's a great city and very near to wear I was born.
I was able to visit Pike's Peak Market and I have to say that every city should have one of these. I spent hours just wandering and browsing. The food that was for sale was of the freshest quality and quite delicious. I also got to view a demonstration of the fish tossing! It was so fun!
After the market I went to the Seattle Aquarium. It was not much to get in and was a nice little museum and animal shelter. In addition to touch tanks with guided feedings, they also had a variety of birds and water mammals. All were in good shape and well cared for- the sign of a quality establishment.
I saw the space needle and took photos but of course didn't go up in it. I'll save that for another time. It was simply too lovely a day to spend it indoors.
