Trippin': Seattle - Pike Place Market

For some reason, these pictures never made it onto my blog, and it's been MORE than a year ago. I was trying to find my Pike Place pics for someone who is planning on visiting Seattle and they were no where to be found on my blog! So I had to laboriously look for them on my external and then do the whole editing, uploading and resizing jig. It's a whole job in itself but I love it! We got to Pike Place a little early. Many of the vendors weren't even there to begin setting up yet. We walked around a bit and then decided to plant ourselves near that Pike Place Fish Co. You know. Where they skillfully toss and wrap fish into paper. What can I remember happening? Let's see. Someone ordered a whole fish. It was tossed and wrapped before I noticed and so I missed the shot. Pooey forreals! And then a big groupa Japa's swarmed in for some peace sign throwing pictures. Gotta love that! This one lady posed with one of the workers who held a fish out so that she could pretend to kiss it. Right before the picture was taken, he smashed the fishy's trout pout into her pursed mouth and the crowd roared with laughter. The girl was a good sport but she was ptewing for awhile afterwards. Gross! Good thing that didn't happen to me. I don't even like cooked fish! I also wanted a picture with the worker man so I gamely stood there while he pressed the fishy's mouth into my cheek. Eek!
