Being a tourist

Thursday afternoon we left from the airport and headed downtown for a little sight seeing. Jen wanted to go to Pikes Place Market, so we headed in that direction. Ed drove since he has been to Seattle and at least had some idea of where to go. He pointed out some of the landmarks including The Space Needle, which is much shorter then I expected, and the Experience Music Project, which has some cool architecture. We then parked and made our way up the million stairs to the market (I am only slightly exaggerating on the number of stairs) This time is one of the few times I was actually able to take some pictures.

Here is the entrance to the market.

I couldn't not take a picture of the bakery.

The produce looked wonderful - but it didn't make much sense to buy anything to bring to the dorm.

Peppers anyone?
