One Saturday we woke up and realized that something is weird. It’s not a regular Saturday. Our camera bags were lying empty in a closet and alarm did not go off. And!! I’m not trying to memorize bride’s and groom’s names. You know what that means? No wedding on a Saturday :) a little bit awkward but we started to think what we could do. We asked ourselves what regular people do on their day off? Our options were to explore Vancouver downtown, visit some breweries on bikes, maybe go to North Van… Second idea was to try to sneak in to the baseball game and the last one was why not to take bikes into ‘snow white’ and drive to Seattle. Ride bikes there, got to the Crab Pot and do other touristy stuff.
No need to guess which one we picked :) Bikes laying in a car we drove a car south! We found a free parking spot which was like a miracle, because parking is ridiculously expensive :/ Anyway, we decide to make a quick ride to the park which was near where we parked and the first thing we saw - photographer was doing a glamour session for a newly weds :) So we stood there and watch how he was working, made some comments to ourselves and moved on. Seemed quite a boring shoot :O
I was actually surprised how empty downtown in Seattle was! So many lanes for bikes and it seemed like it’s only two of us riding.
We did quite a bit though! Stopped for a sushi, then rode bikes to breweries and gum wall, visited fisherman’s harbour, went to eat seafood and then we decided to go and watch a movie :) oh, and of course we took a ride in a ferris wheel. All this day was so chill. We would decide what we wanna do and would go for it. No particular plan, just ride bikes and explore.
The other thing that stuck to my head was very unique architecture. Vancouver downtown is quite boring with same style buildings, but it’s not the same in Seattle. Maybe it’s just me for the first time visiting Seattle but I really liked what I saw :)
lots of unique sculptures around downtown.
No, I didn’t leave gum on this wall ;P
