We explored Pike's Market today. Very intriguing place, with lots and lots of shops. Plenty of restaurants, and many,many other kinds of shops, from fresh fruit stands to flower markets, to a wide variety of jewelry, bookstores, and gift shops. We got LOTS of exercise walking up and down and all around this very large market.
Pike's Fish Market is famous for tossing fish around. A high quality image titled "Catching a Fish" is available in Picassa. The guy on the right with the white paper is about to catch a thrown fish. The fish is actually airborne just under the neon red sign. If you expand this picture you may be able to see a blur.
Here's a picture of the famous Gum Wall at Pike's Place. No we did not add any gum to the wall.
After we rest up we are heading out for our Locks Cruise followed by a birthday supper at Ivar's Acres of Clams on the waterfront.
