Seattle Day 2

This was a stop for Brian. Wizards of the Coast makes the card game that Brian has been playing for something like 10 years.

If you look really closely you can see Mt. Rainier between the two light posts.

I then was able to drag Brian to the Seattle Art Museum. I think the best thing was pictured above, it's made out of dog tags. On closer examination they don't really say anything, just random letters I guess that could be meaninful. We didn't see any information about it in the gallery either. The SAM was ok I'm kind of a musuem snob, having gone to the Smithsonian as a kid and the Louvre as a teenager I'm rather biased.

Maybe I'll have to make Seattle Socks....

The yarn I bought while at the churchmouse yarn store. I think the bottom skein of yarn looks like the building we saw on the ferry ride back in (pictured above)

We started the day by heading downtown to catch the ferry to Bainbridge Island. Seattle has the largest ferry system in the country. We went to Bainbridge Island to check out a yarn shop, (yeah totally Brian's idea... right...) The town was pretty cute, very high brow though...

Seattle

Yes, that is a Starbucks, coming soon next to a showgirl place... btw its a block away from THE Starbucks

That is THE flying fish place, theres more than one stall selling seafood, and everyone asks at every stall for flying fish... tourons...

AAAHHH AHHH! The First Starbucks (on this block...)

Ferry ( I think we need a bigger boat )

Still Backwards

Brian and some much needed coffee

We got off at Sitka for an hour to walk around
this is the Russian Orthodox Church, Sitka was once called the "Paris of the Pacific"

Haines

you should know the deal by now...

C eh? N eh? D eh?

posting too much to fix all of the html codes... start at the bottom please!





So... Canada eh? Yes, we have said eh? after everything! and i mean everything, i'd laugh and say eh? and it apparently stuck because we're in Seattle and still saying it... eh? We drove through the Yukon Territory and stayed the night in Destruction Bay, the next day it was on through British Columbia and then back in to Alaska... I have a thing for mounties and didn't really see any... we saw more animals than people...

Leaving Alaska

Start at the Bottom!






we left Fairbanks early (not nearly early enough) on Saturday morning (1/31)... this is the first chance we've had at internet since Haines, AK and the only time I've been able to load pictures. I'm going to post a whole bunch of posts in sections. There isn't a whole lot of explaining to do for pictures but I'll do what I can... got a lot of posting to make up for...

boarding the ferry

hey this is going to be short and sweet, we're about to get on the ferry in Haines, Ak (valley of the eagles) we'll be on the boat for about 4 days. most likely without internet, no idea, we don't even think we'll have showers...? brian doesn't remember if he took one last time. the drive here was alright, a little long, and lots of animals, lots of pictures too. we're on the computer at the public library in Haines. I'll hopefully be able to post pictures once we get to civilization again (Seattle on Friday)... It's already warmer here too!
