Back in the USA

Good Evening Everyone!

It's almost time to cuddle under my quilt for sweet dreams, but I've got to share my day in Seattle, Washington with you! 

I met 2 new traveling companions this morning at the Seattle airport.  Were they ever thrilled to finally meet me, for they had been reading my messages.  I always love "bear hugs" and we became instant friends.

We were all hungry, so we headed to the wharf for some salmon chowder in a bread bowl...mmmm...  salmon.  Is there any tastier treat than salmon?

Whoops!  I thought that was "Granny Bear" when I jumped up into her strong, gentle paws.  Her smile in seeing me was comforting, but I had to apologize for my enthusiasm.  My Granny used to love to read stories to me, and that's when I decided I had to somehow get a library card so I could always have a book to keep me company.

We traveled up and down so many streets before we discoved the Market on Pike and First Avenue.  Wowie!  Is that ever a fun place!  I found so much healthy and organic food to nibble on...like freshly picked berries.

Can you believe how how much salmon is available here??  I didn't even have to get my paws wet and cold in the icy, fast, flowing streams in the mountains.  All I had to do is point to the ones I wanted!  Oh, yes, I did have to pay money for these.

You can find all kinds of things to buy here, from food to things people wear.  But, after an hour of trudging down the aisles, I found an easier way to get around.  It's a pedicab!

No one can leave Seattle without seeing the famous Space Needle.  There are three elevators that take you to the top; but, I guess I'll have to wait until another time to zip to the top.  Oh, well...

Now it is time for those dreams, dreams of cruising on a big ship to Alaska..

Night, night...
