Seattle, Post-Cruise - 03 Jun 2007

Having finally returned from the week-long cruise, Beth and I dizzily returned to solid ground and spent a day or so hanging out with Ray and Mel, two of my closest friends. We went to the Pike's Place Market Anniversary Festival, played games, ate lots of asian food (of which there had been none on the cruise), and just generally hung out. It was great, relaxing, and a nice change of pace. I just wish I could have stayed a bit longer.

Oh, and we got to see Riley! We both missed the good puppy...

Crazy Bearded Scarf Dress Guy
The first thing we saw at the festival was this guy.
Crazy Bearded Scarf Dress Guy, II
He's apparently a bit of a fixture. Certainly, he's disturbingly photogenic.
Music Tent
Jamming the day away.
Jones Soda Tent
Sadly, there were no interesting flavors here. I would have bought one.
Mehndi Madness
Henna for the Masses. I guess. Whee! (Beth and Danielle have been enjoying mehndi lately.)
Pirate Pig
Yaar, me maties, Mel and I and this pig be after your booty!
Dog Sniff-Fest
I like the baby pug the best. Cute!
Multi-Color Pig
Ray was taking a lot more pictures of pigs than I was. I think I was getting a bit burnt out on the camera trigger finger.
Outside Pizza Oven
Mrrnh? Interesting. We need those back where the pizza tastes good.
Shot from the Market
Some water, some interesting buildings, mostly a parking structure.
Lots of Fish
Yep, we're in the Market proper again.
Variety of Pastas
There were a lot of them at this booth. Sadly, the only one they offered us to taste was the dark chocolate linguine. *sigh*
Future Pig
That's not quite Bender at the Market. Not quite.
Ray and Rust Pig
Tetanus! Eeek!
Random Dog, I
This dog was cute, and it was Dog Day.
Random Dog, II
What I found cute was the little stuffed duck he wouldn't let go of.
Random Dog, III
His owners were trying to get him to put it down so I could take a picture of him with it, but to no avail...
Random Dog, IV
...all I could get was him actually holding it.
Tim
From an odd angle. What a face! *sigh*
Ray and Pirogi Bread
The big find of the Market. I think.
Upside Down Mel
Don't fall on us, Mel!
Sun Princess Leaves Again
Goodbye, home-for-a-week, off to do the cruise again!
Resting Girls
Wandering the Market takes its toll.
Smiling Mel
I've never seen that before.
Totem Pole
It would have been better with, say, light.
Birds on Totem Pole
With the anti-bird spikes, too! Too bad.
Ray and Mel
It was good to see the pair of 'em. They're good friends.
Drainpipe/Flower Pots
This was an interesting setup.
Riley
It was really good to see the puppy. Good boy!
Morgan
Ray and Mel were really upset that the first thing that Morgan did when we were playing was to scratch me.
Morgan's Perch
That's what cats do, they injure humans during play!
Morgan's Perch, II
Oh well, I thought it was worth it.
