Casual Day Out

Well, hoping for a clear day today we headed out to the Pike Place Markets again in search of the famous fish guys. We found them, and it was relatively underwhelming... but they did seem to be having a good time and were very friendly.

Next up, we did a bit of shopping in Downtown then set off for China Town (the International District) to see what all the fuss was about. Had curry at Kurry King (funny name) :). Then after checking out Uwajimaya (which has heaps of good Japanese and Chinese stuff) we realized that it was actually pretty quiet.

So, in search of other things to do, we found ourselves at the Seattle Aquarium where we used a voucher to go in and spent quite a while ogling the fishies. The touch pool was OK but once you've felt a few fishies the cold water froze our fingers so much that we couldn't feel anymore. :) Took some OK pictures, although I had to expend my knowledge of my camera's settings just to get acceptable shots. I pity the point-n-click photographers who were there!

Headed back to the apartment with all intentions to do the Space Needle... but the cold weather and laziness got the best of us. So, another night in, and some well-deserved rest. :)
