After planning to meet at Seattle Centre, Joydeep and kids take off to Gurukul , while we have Madhavi ( Madhu’s friend ) drive us to the bus stop.
There is a communication error & we miss out on the stop that we are to take. Madhavi & Madhu try to figure out, where the next bus stop might be & we end up going in circles. Till, we spot the bus we are to take for downtown. Typical filmi ishtyle, we ask Madhavi to follow the bus, till it reaches the next stop!! It’s a perfect chase & we eventually manage to get to the bus & head downtown. We are in splits through this entire episode… a complete wild goose chase, which ended right!!!
Walk across to Seattle Needle, while passing and browsing through some lovely shops & making sure we follow the path of the monorail, so as to not loose our way!!! The Seattle Needle is truly the grandchild of CN Towers & Mom absolutely does not want to go up this tower. So, we take some pictures & walk across this area, which is buzzing with all kind of activities … for kids & adults alike!!! The Seattle centre is alive with an Indian cultural show & is decorated with Indian handicrafts & textiles, to give it the India feel!! Watch some lovely dance performances. By then Joydeep & kids join us. It’s lunch time & time to check out the Pacific Science Centre. Once again, mother dear has no love to go to Pike Market & smell the fish, and wants to head home, which leaves Madhu & Me, to Go Gallivanting!!!
We stay back & walk by the Harbour. Peek into some more curiously curiosity shops, walk up the Harbour steps, through 1st Avenue enjoying the hub of life, reaching Pike Market. This place is a complete blend of Sassoon Dock & Crawford Market …. The only one of it kind in Amrika!!! Was fun walking across this market place filled with a kind of festivity of shoppers & shopkeepers!!!
On our way back, we make it a point to buy the Green Apple dipped in chocolate sauce with marshmallows et all in it. Haven’t seen or heard of this before & just have to try it!!!
Reach home late evening after an interesting survey of downtown!!
Dessert…..The Green Apple is kind of sour & is just right for the sweet of the chocolate …. Very very interesting , I must say!!!
Highlight .. Mom watch’s a man hunting for a drink through the 3 bins near the Seattle centre entrance, finds one after much struggle & take’s off. The land of plenty we call this country …. Kahin bhi .. kuch bhi ho sakta hai!!!!
