Sleepless in Seattle


From the balcony of our room at the Warwick we had a perfect view of the Space Needle erected in 1962 for the World Fair. Very cool sight. After returning from a lovely dinner with cousins Larry & Linda at their beautiful home (with spectacular views!), we took full advantage of an amazing (albeit unusual) Seattle night and walked around the city. It's funky, eclectic vibe was accented by creatively fashioned pig statues (from salmon pig to Santa Claus pig, gold piggy bank pig to patchwork pig). They're the equivalent to Stamford's cows and Rochester's horses. After our casual stroll we returned to the hotel, said our good nights and retired with plans in place for the morning: breafast at Lola's followed by "fish pitching" at Pike's Market!
