Culture shock - Seattle!

Wham!  Bang!  We’re back in the city!  What a contrast!





On our first morning we head down to the docks: a major drawcard being the markets. 

How can this place be so different when its only just over the border from Canada and a 2 hour flight from Alaska.  Oh my!  And our hotel room is like a shoe box!  Still, we found a fantastic cup of coffee this morning so all is forgiven.  In fact Seattle is considered the coffee capital of the world!

We jostled with crowds in the market but on the whole just wanted to get out of there to find a respectable place for lunch.  By keeping our eyes open and following instincts we found “The Pink Door” - a hidden gem:  we were lucky to get a table.  It doesnt need to advertise, its mostly by word of mouth.  Who would have thought that behind this door:

The ambience, food and service was a delight - especially after the hamburger and chips experience of Alaska!!!  And yes, the mural on the building wall next door is very risqué.
