It is true. No matter how much my life isn't here anymore, I will always love Seattle and keep a special place in my heart for it. It's just a cool town!
Mom, Dad, and I went downtown today, after I went to work for a bit, to go to 'Summerfest'.
Honestly, though, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
First we went tried to go to Ivar's on the pier to eat lunch but they raised their prices from like 5 or 6 bucks for fish and chips to like 9! Way to rich for our blood. So we walked up the street to our favorite little hole-in-the-wall Thai resturant and ate there, delicious!
Then we made our way up to the festival, or lack there of.
They have kind of a small street fair in the plaza in the heart of downtown and there are usually some really cool sand sculptures there. But this year, well, sucked. I've seen pictures of previous years and they were WAAAY more amazing than this year's. Here's the best one...and honestly this can't even compare to the ones from previous years:
(this is supposed to be all one photo but the sculpture was so large i had to take several)
Then after the dissapointment of 'Summerfest' we began walking down toward the waterfront where we were parked and we decided to walk through Pike's Place Market on the way. I love Pike's Place, it's such an interesting place to go, though it's always crowded.
On one of the corners outside the market there was this street performer, he was so cool. He was hula-hooping, while playing his guitar, singing, playing his harmonica, dancing/twirling, and he also had jingly-clacky noise maker things on his shoes! It was insane! You don't see that every day! haha!
Well dispite the dissapointment of 'Summerfest' it is always entertaining to visit downtown Seattle. With all the crazy people, random events, and livelihood of such a unique city, you'll never know what to expect. It's never boring that's for sure!
