Our Duck on Land and Sea

We headed out this morning, drove to the Park and Ride free parking lot and got a bus downtown to Pike Place Market. The Seattle greater area is 3,500,000 and we really got that "big city" feeling downtown....such a great place for people watching. We started at the Pike Place Market, famous for its fish market. I got out my camera and guess what I forgot....the battery was back at the RV in it's charger. We decided to save the market for another day -- with camera.

After a Thai lunch, we took the monorail to catch the "Ride the Duck" tour. The DUKW was an amphibious landing craft developed by the U.S. Army during World War II.

The tour around the city was about an hour on land and a half hour on water. They tell all sorts of silly jokes and play crazy music, which made for a light, fun afternoon.

We still have the Space Needle and our trip back to the market to look forward to another day. Ed's especially looking forward to touring the Boeing Factory, which we might do on Friday.
