Foto Friday: Pike's Place Market

While in Seattle last week, I spent a fair amount of time walking around Pike's Place Market. Since my hotel was only about a 15 minute walk away, I ate lunch there twice, indulging in fresh seafood and other market goodies. I also stood in a long but swiftly moving line for a cup of coffee from the original Starbucks.

    I LOVED Pike's market when I was there last October on my marathon trip.  The seafood was mouth watering.  My brother and his wife are there this weekend for a long weekend and they got an apt so they could cook some of the wonderful seafood!

    I also went to the original starbucks for a latte.  The barristas were so good and so entertaining!

    I absolutely LOVEd Pike's Place Market (and all of Seattle for that matter). I know it's become a complete tourist trap, but it would be so fun to get to have the chance to shop there on a regular basis for fresh produce. Yum.

    What a fun trip! And about your last post, I agree. Academic writing and marathon running have a lot of similarities. Both require a plan. Both require endurance that sometimes become pretty painful. Both require having to deal with failure sometimes. Both require concrete goals and regularity. Both are HARD but very rewarding!
