Hello from Seattle

Hey everybody, this is Liam's brother Aidan. Sorry we haven't posted anything sooner, we haven't had much time since we've been getting back to the hotel room too late to write anything. Oh well, it's just as well, we haven't done much until we got to Seattle USA, where we are now. Today is our last day in Seatlle. We just got back from the famous Pike Market. The Pike Market was made famous by the guys in one of the fish stalls who decided to start throwing fish around. They're now one of the bigest tourist atractions in Seattle! We also went to the Space Needle, which is a bit like the CN tower in Toronto, only smaller. And before that we went to the Museum of Science Fiction and the Experience Music Project. It was very cool! You can play electric guitars, drums, keyboards, have jam sessions and even mix your own sound. Well thats about it. Our next post will be from Vancouver Island. Bye!

Okay, you Sullivans. I'm capital "j" Jealous of you. I'd LOVE to see that fish market. Did anyone toss a mackerel your way?

The music place sounds very cool, as well. Did you mix some of your own sound? I'm guessing you probably created something sad and forlorn to symbolize how much you're missing all of us.....

We'll keep an eye out for news from the island. There's a great bookstore in Victoria (I'll have to search for its name at home) where you might be able to pick up a copy of Dahl's "The Witches" - Liam, I meant to loan you a copy to take along so that you could finish it on your travels. If you can't find a copy on your trip, you have something to look forward to when you return. At any rate, the bookstore is a beautiful old place with a stained glass window above the entrance and really nice old architecture. I think the floors even squeaked, which is a real plus in my mind.
