Stop to Shop at the "Soul of Seattle"

Pike Place Market is filled with fish-slingers, flowers, fresh herbs, exquisite wines, and piles of pasta...all too tempting to pass. Two Buck Chuck came back from his business trip to Vancouver, WA (not to be confused with answer to test question posted earlier...) in time to take in the sights of the street performers, the sounds of the hawking vendors, and the smells of fresh everything! We've visited several times before, but this time our native Seattle-ite friend, Maureen, aka "Bob the Builder" Caruso, treated us to a personal tour of the 101-year old farmer's market aptly dubbed, the "Soul of Seattle."




So leaving oyster-eating heaven of Seattle, we took the San Juan Ferry BACK into Canada .. over to quaint Victoria, BC. Never know WHO might spot sunning naked. Kids avert your eyes.

We saw this stuff all along the ride... what is it? Looked like old fishing net or discarded rope. But nope.. they harvest it and use it in a bunch of products we eat everyday. like a cellulose gum... maybe you don't want to know...


Now what have we here?






















Oh, if only Tyler were here....

Whale watching in Canada is one thing... but REALLY looking forward to whale watching in... let's say, February 09... in Maui!
