24 Hours in Seattle

We got up a little earlier to enjoy 24 hours in Seattle. We bumped up our appointment on the Space Needle to 9:30 to accommodate and we're very glad we did since it was much quieter. We shot up to the height of a skyscraper in just 45 seconds and silently revolved around the city. Back down on Terra Firma we enjoyed the Glass Gardens and Museum featuring several blown glass exhibits which were enthralling. The only other spot on our Tourist hit list was Pike Market, where it seemed the whole city congregated to because it was teaming with people. Think Borough Market but by the harbour and you'll get a sense of it. It's also home to the first ever Starbucks where Rebecca and I took the coffee pilgrimage to.

In our last day in North America we found a board game shop with a free play games with strangers event where we played games with two locals who took us under their wing. It was a surprisingly social way to end our time here, Rebecca and I spent so much time in our own little bubble on holiday that it was easy to forget that what makes a city is the people.
