Once you've seen Pike Place Market and the Space Needle, you're pretty well done. Go ahead, ask the concierge at your hotel for suggestions. "Did you go to the Space Needle?" "Oh yeah." "Did you go to the top of it? The view's really spectacular." "Uh huh. Did that. Nice view." 'Cause we don't have tall buildings in New York, so this was a real novelty. "Well, Pike Place Market is terrific." Terrific is definitely a subjective term, but, to be polite... "Yes, we went there yesterday, and now we're looking for something else to do." "Hmmm."
We even took out the guide books to try to find something. No luck.
Well, one possibility. They have an aquarium, and we'll probably run down there. Heaven knows, we've never seen fish before.
Of course, if you ask a local or consult Seattle propaganda on this subject, you'll be told what you're missing. This aquarium features sea life of the Pacific Northwest! Great. This I need to see. I've been eating sea life of the Pacific Northwest all week. I feel very little need to see what it looks like before it's grilled and drizzled in a white wine butter!

LOL!
We didn't go to Bruce Lee's grave, Ernie, but it's not like Bruce will visit mine, so I don't feel bad about that. We did, however, check out the hip areas. We even saw many cute college boys, but we still got a little bored. Oh well. We can't expect to love everywhere we visit. It wasn't bad; just not fabulous either.
