Seattle - Day 3 - 8/22/11

Hello all you little chickadees,

My friend Claudia took the ferry over from Port Townsend, WA and met me at Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle.  We had lunch and a little later went on a tour of Underground Seattle.  I forget everything except there were these seamstresses who were actually prostitutes and one of them was a man.  Apparently they funded a large portion of the rebuilding of Seattle through their taxes after the city burned down.  I bid Claudia farewell as she took the ferry back and returned to my hostel for some much needed sleep. 

Today I got up and my way over to the Space Needle.  I took the Monorail back to downtown and went on the Sub Seattle Tour.  I did see the house where Kurt Cobain spent his final days which was kind of weird but interesting.

I had some dinner and went to Can Can before returning to my hostel. 

I have one more full day in Seattle and then will be heading out to San Fran Wednesday afternoon.
