On Monday morning, October 11th we had a short talk about the history of Pike Place Market. We rode a yellow school bus to the Pratt Fine Arts Center to blow glass. We watched the glass blowers make a large purple pumpkin and then we each blew glass mostly making colorful bowls.
We traveled once again on the school bus to the waterfront where we had a delicious lunch at Fishermans Restaurant, Miners Landing at Pier 57. Afterwards we toured a bit of Pike Place Market. We saw the famous Pike Place Market neon sign and clock, Rachel, the life-size bronze pig, the flying fish at Pike Place Fish, an Italian grocery, DeLaurenti, Giant Squid, the Gum Wall, Giant Shoes exhibit, and the original Starbucks with its life-size pig “Pork and Beans” over the doorway. Then we had free time until dinner at the hotel. Patricia and I wandered around looking at the stalls of fresh produce, cut flowers, seafood and crafts and then wandered along Post Alley stopping briefly at a tea shop.
I had a glass of chardonnay wine at the Red Lion lounge at 5:30 where I sat with three other women until time for dinner. After dinner we watched some videos about Seattle. It was much quieter in our hotel room this evening!
