We had a great time exploring Pike Place Farmer’s Market in downtown Seattle. The smells and sites and sounds were soothing and exotic, intoxicatingly good and disgustingly bad, all mixed up and different around each corner. There were beautiful flowers across the way from a stinky fish stand. There was a fantastic doughnut shop and a delicious chowder stand amongst the myriad of shops and vendors. I had the messiest bagel ever - a cinnamon raisin bagel toasted with peanut butter. The peanut butter warmed up and gooeified and was everywhere but it was so amazingly delicious that I didn’t really care. Luckily, however, there are no pictures…
