At Pike Place Market, you can buy every imaginable type of fresh produce and fresh fish. And on the roof, there's a pig painted like a bumblebee. |

Carole reads one of the exhibits at the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park visitor center in Seattle. |

The cash register at the Klondike NHP was made by National Cash Register (NCR), a company of some importance in Carole's childhood in Dayton, Ohio. |

The cash register in context. Carole's dad used to work for NCR; in fact, they moved her family to Dayton. |

Carole oohs over the cash register. Carole also used to play in the NCR Band during high school. |

We looked down and saw a bunch of chairs and a dais set up on the dock. Apparently some sort of brutal auto-da-fe was about to take place. |

A picture taken from our dinner table at the Space Needle. We were there during sunset, so we got to see Seattle both by day and night. |

It's not a pile of garbage, it's a building! It's the Experience Music Project (EMP) and Science Fiction Museum, at the base of the Needle. |

Sky City's professional photographer came around the tables taking pictures, and we think this one came out pretty nice. |
