Seattle
Posted by: Isabel in 2009 Pacific NW Trip, tags: cheesemaking, lenin, penguins, rockets, seattle, washingtonOur time in Seattle was really short, so we had to make it count! We went directly from the airport to Pike Place Market…

…so we could get crumpets.


They’re very important to us.
And we visited Beecher’s to observe cheesemaking with a keen, educated eye.

That’s a lot of curd, y’all!
We also visited the Fremont Troll!

And we saw a sparkly penguin!

And another rocket!!

And in case all that isn’t enough awesome for you, we also happened upon a giant statue of Lenin holding a sandwich:

(He stands in front of Royal Grinders, a sandwich and gelato place… so I guess it’s pretty convenient for him to get his lunch there.)

Mmmm…crumpets. I loved that crumpet shop when I visited Seattle. I’m glad to hear it’s still there!
