Pike's Place Market

The outside of the market.

The little lady that worked there was holding up crab legs behind my head while Craig took a picture-- what a jokester!

For those of you who are huge fans of the travel channel, this is one of the places that is featured by them whenever they do a blip about Seattle. We went down to this market its an indoor fish/vegetable/ flower/ anything else you want market. At this one spot where we had the pictures of us taken, it was a fish place and at this place the workers actually put on a little show for you. They start throwing the fish around like they do on a boat, and then they have someone stand underneath where they are going to throw it, and they put a cup on their head and they throw the fish over their heads, trying to knock the cup off. It was a lot of fun. At the very end they are tossing the fish back and forth and the one guy tells the other guy "go long" and he tosses this fish out and it lands among the crowd of onlookers, and it turns out to be a fake fish- it had me screaming though. We bought a pound of halibut and baked it in our oven and it must have come from heaven becuase it was soooo good!

That is a great picture! I'm glad you 2 are able to get out and have a little fun while you are there. When I did summer sales it was all work work work. I've never seen the fish show, that's hilarious they throw a fake fish in the crowd!
