Return to the Lower 48











After leaving Victoria, our ship headed on south to Seattle, where we docked, cleared customs, and loaded onto another tour bus, this time to see the sights of Seattle. We stopped at the Pike St. Market area, but they weren't throwing any fish at the time, so we had some lunch and iced coffee. Then we went to the lock and dam area, and saw many commercial fishing boats moving through. This was spring still in Seattle, so the poppies were in bloom, alongside the walkway of the locks. We visited the Space Needle, and I was more impressed by their monorail commuter trains. Wish KC had something like that. While driving by the harbor, we spied a Chinese container ship loaded full of imports--hubby said those were all the LTD and beading supplies I had ordered. We spent the night in Seattle, resting up from our travels, then headed on home, back to summertime in MO.
