Day 14 - Seattle

Slept VERY well last night...woke up at almost nine!!! The weather has been beautiful.
We began our day (after I had coffee) by stopping off at the Sunday Farmer's Market then met up with some of her friends at their usual stop -- a fabulous bakery where the line was out the door. This is also the weekend of the West Seattle Art Fair so we walked around a little. A woman that Elise knew from somewhere before had a booth and it just so happens that she lives in the same small town as a former friend of mine. It definitely is a very small world.

Returned to the house to drop off the produce and dog, then Gary (Elise's SO) drove us into downtown Seattle so we could spend some time looking around and shopping for a dress (or 6?) for her upcoming trip. We walked through the Pike Place Market, then to the store in search of appropriate clothing. Clothes purchased, we headed back down to the waterfront in search of the Water Taxi to bring us back. Before we got that far, we decided we needed to take break so had a quick bite at Elliots (Elise had to send her salad back twice: the first time because the plate was dirty; the second because they forgot half of the ingredients). Of course, she wasn't charged but she ended up taking hers to go because we had to catch the last water taxi back. We arrived just in the knick of time but the guy only took exact change which we didn't have. We ended up being granted Senior Citizen status (age 65) just so we could pay him. This was a first for both of us as we still have quite a few years to go before THAT would be official.

We are now home for the evening...Elise is re-trying on her clothes; Gary is walking the dog down on the beach; I am finally updating this blog. Tomorrow is yet another day on this glorious adventure.
