In Yatta We Trust

Yiiiahh!

Last weekend we went to see uncle Sam! Our pockets full with dollars, we took a bus and went to Seattle for 4 days! Seattle is only 3 hours away from Vancouver, so we had to go and see it for ourself! It's worth it!

We stayed in a very nice hostel (green tortoise) right in the downtown center, with free breakfast and one free dinner!
We went to see the famous Pike Place Market: one of the oldest farmers market in the USA.

We visited the museum of Music. Very cool place, where you can see the Jimi Hendrix exhibit, with the guitars he broke on stage. And a lot more with Nirvana or Pearl Jam stuff. There is a demo room as well where you can learn how to play electric guitar, bass or drums... awesome dude!!

Later we went up the space needle (184m), which is meant to look like a flying saucer. There is a nice panoramic view on top overlooking Seattle and the bay, it was bloody windy!

We also visited the oldest part of the city, the "pioneer" area and went underground the streets for a little tour back in the cowboys and gold rush time!

We quickly went to china/japan town, but it is not as nice and colorful as the Vancouver Chinatown.

Visiting places is interesting but what about drinking? Well we found some good pub with cheap 2$ beer. And we were lucky enough to see a jazz band playing live, they were excellent!

It was relaxing to get away from Vancouver a few days and get to see an american city.

There are tons of pictures on the flickr gallery. So go and look at it for more details. And don't forget to write some comments on the blog so i don't feel like writting to a mirror

Next post, after Paddy's day! If i am sober enough to write!
