Dan, Tiff and Abby's Trip/Day 2

We decided to go into Seattle because they wanted to see the Pike Place Market. They also wanted to see the original Starbucks. If you're a coffee drinker you will understand :)
Did you know that a troll lives under the Aurora bridge? It's true! You can read more about it here if you like.

John and I and the troll (he's the big one!)

This is the first Starbucks...ever! They have the most wonder frappucinos in the world!

There's a tradition that you are supposed to rub the pig for good luck if it is your first visit to the market. Tiffany and Abby taking a chance at some good luck.

If you watched the movie "Sleepless In Seattle" you will probably remember the scene where Tom Hanks and Rob Reiner are sitting at the counter of a restaurant and talking?? Well, this is the restaurant.

We decided to eat lunch there too! The food was...okay...but the ambiance was better!

I don't suppose I need to identify this building...do I? Of course it's the Space Needle.
