Ron and I left for our Alaskan cruise on June 29th. We flew out of Austin, had a lay-over in Phoenix, and landed in Seattle late that evening. The next morning, we headed out to see the city. So much about the city reminded us of our years in Germany. The weather, overcast skies, and buildings felt so familiar. We only had one day to see as much as possible, so we opted for a city tour provided by one of many companies in the city. We were shown all the major tourist attractions, learned a little about the history of the city, trivia about several movies that were filmed there, and drove through some of the various neighborhoods. Here are just a few of the pictures we took while on our tour.

During the tour we saw the original Starbucks, China Town, Pikes Place, the Farmers Market, upscale homes and neighborhoods, the public library and many much more. It is certainly a place that deserves more than one day to explore.
Maybe another day...

How fun, looks like a great vacation. Did you guys go to pikes place market and watch the men throw the fish? That was my favorite thing about seattle
Looks like a dream vacation. I look forward to the time when Larry and I can do that type of vacationing. Can't wait for pictures of the cruise part. Did you see whales or dolphins?
