While we are visiting with Ethan and Heather, we are staying at our friends', Joy and Ricardo Pocasangre in Bellevue, WA. Today we are touring downtown Seattle with them.
We visit the Natural History Museum at the University of Washington, where we are treated to a display about coffee. The rest of the museum is about the history of the Native Americans who first settled Washington.
After a Greek lunch, we head downtown to the Seattle Art Museum, which is having a Free Day today. The Andrew Wyeth display is coming down soon, so it is very crowded. Hanging from the ceiling is a show involving several Ford Tauruses with laser light rods projecting from them in all directions. There is a huge cloak made from dogtags. My favorite exhibit is the African Masks, which are displayed on mannequins wearing Western clothing, creating disturbing dissonance.
We go downtown to the Pike Place Market for Happy Hour. The Fish Flingers are in action. Upstairs at Joy's favorite French bistro, we request the torch singer to do "Blue Moon" for us. Later we have delicious salmon bisque at another restaurant. We feel as though we have been eating constantly all day.
