Activities - Oct. 6th

I can officially say that I have experienced Seattle's public transportation; this morning Jonathan and I took the bus into Downtown where we spent the entire day. We walked along the Puget Sound for awhile, snapped lots of photos, explored local shops, ate at an incredible Irish Pub, shopped/browsed more shops, walked around the SAM (Seattle Art Museum), and then caught a showing of 'The American' at the movie theater (side note: the movie was good - great cinematography & foreign/independent vibe, which made it beautiful and very artistic, but I would caution everyone to read a detailed 'content review' before watching, especially if you're a fella.....). The bus ride home was entertaining to say the least. It was very full and some interesting characters decided to hitch a ride as well, which made me realize that people watching at the mall isn't where it's at. Haha.

I took too many photos today to only pick one, so here are a few instead:

Food & drinks to note:
Cherry Street Coffee House a decent mug of drip coffee
Fabó turkey burger with sweet potato fries & a black velveteen (half Guinness & half hard cider - yum!)
Zeitgeist latte

Fun/interesting fact:
I have always wanted to learn how to blow glass. Consider it a phenomenon that has continually intrigued me. Well, today at the Glass House in Pioneer Square, Jonathan and I got to watch glass blowers at work in their in-house studio, it was fantastic and oh so enjoyable. It was remarkable to see the development of the pieces, especially when the workers added simple shards to add color and dimension to their pieces. Hmm... I guess I should really add glass blowing to my so called 'bucket list' ;)

I need to catch some ZzZzz; tomorrow I'm taking Esther into work so that I can have the car and explore on my own, which means waking up early. Later alligators!
