As we left the Sculpture Garden, a load of tourists zoomed past us on one of Seattle's Ducks.
 
 
Pier 69 is the home of a hydrofoil, the Victoria Clipper. It travels to Victoria, British Columbia in 2 1/2 hours.
 
 
The Edgewater is one of Seattle's luxury hotels, sitting out over the water. Tim tells me rumor has it that one used to be able to fish out of the windows of the hotel. ;-)
 
 
On top of the Port Of Seattle pier is a beautiful area to view the surroundings.
 
 
The large building in the foreground is Anthony's Pier 66, a sea-food restaurant with a beautiful panoramic view.
 
 

Here I am taking in all the sights and sounds (and getting hungry!)

 
 
Hungry, you said? Well let's go to Tim's favorite Thai restaurant, Bell Thai, where he often buys his lunch, as it's very close to his office.
 
 
Oh Yum! Appetizers! These are called Fresh Rolls: fried tofu stuffed with vegetables, rolled up in a rice wrapper and served with tangy tamarind sauce. They were fabulous. I ate tofu!
 
 

On the left is Tim's Spicy Orange Chicken: deep fried chicken, sauteed with onion and orange skin and served with Jasmine rice. I had Pad Ginger: pork, fresh ginger with garlic, black mushrooms, bell peppers and carrots sauteed in black bean sauce and served with brown rice. They tasted as good as they looked.

 
 
We washed our lunch down with a pot of Jasmine tea. It really was a perfect trip, and totally spur of the moment, which was even better.
