Tuesday

On Tuesday we went to the Seattle aquarium with Andy, Gabi and Alex, which was fantastic. So many really cool fish (and not a chip in sight). We saw river otters, sea otters, sea lions, seals, puffins, loads of starfish, jellyfish, seahorses etc etc. It was fascinating and great fun. I took a bunch of pictures which are all on my Flickr page.

After the aquarium we chilled out on the pier for a while, enjoying the sunshine and the gorgeous views of the bay.

Next up was a little shopping at North Bend. I bought some snazzy Converse and Mark bought 2 pairs of Skechers. I love going to North Bend - it's where Twin Peaks was filmed and it's absolutely stunning there.
On the way there we got some great views of Mount Ranier, which towers over all the other mountains in the area.

A delicious dinner at a Mexican restaurant rounded off the day nicely. I ate far too much and actually made myself feel a bit sick. Had to go outside for some fresh air.

A nice relaxed evening of chatting finished us off for the night.
