So lets recap.  We've reached the west coast, we're in Seattle and we're staying at Kevin's college roomate's house.   Soooooooo - since it's Seattle we had to get up at some ungodly hour like 9am or something because that what Seattle people do.  Then we had to sort the trash (not kidding!) into bottles, cans and plastic because that's what Seattle people do.  Then we admired the stained glass on the front door which looked sort of....ah...sort of.....phallic....because we guess that's what Seattle people do.

By lunch we were off in the car (with Jason as our guide) and strolling along a beach on Puget Sound.  Let's just say it was perculiar.  There were plenty of people there, but they all were wearing clothes.  Ok, Ok, Ok - it's not like we were expecting a nude beach (we were), but at least we could've seen a few guys in board shorts and few girls in bikinis!  Oh yeah - we forgot - they all wear jeans and coats on the beach because that's what they do in Seattle.  We're starting to get the hang of this place.

Next we were off to the Pike Street Market.  Not much to report here, except lots of stalls selling smelly fish and the very first Starbucks.  NOT KIDDING!  Stacy went crazy (no doubt from a caffeine induced euphoria), but at least they didn't throw us out when she started chewing raw expresso beans and spittingthem on everyone!  Finally we hit the Hooters on Lake Union in downtown Seattle.  Let's just say it was a real eye opener!  Our server was FANTASTIC, but when Kevin made a few jokes about....ah....hmmm....whatever - she threw him on his knees, handcuffed him and then brought out the whips and chains and went at it.  We're not sure, but we think it's because that's what they do in Seattle.  Even though Kevin thoughly enjoyed the whole experience (and his bruises will heal in a few days), we are soooooooo outta here tomorrow with a planned ride south (for the first time!) all the way to.....

    
Hmmmmmm....What do you see?                                                            We came here for the skin!  What gives?
