We passed the Graffiti Van on our way to breakfast!
Cathi and I stopped at the Episcopal Church with it's bright red doors.
Reflected in the window, we wait for our train to the zoo.
The big news was the elephants. Here, reaching for the choicest leaves.
But the new baby stole the show.
Robin and Dayle watch him with his mother and aunt.
Most of the other large animals were sleeping in the heat. Look at the size of those paws!
Maybe they should put Cathi behind bars!
On the train home, Cathi shows Dayle and Robin some of her photos.
At the Seattle Station once again.
And, finally, back on the ferry - worn out but happy!

BOOKWOMEN GO TO THE CHINESE GARDEN.
Jane, Cathi and Karen explore near the waterfall.
One of the many pagodas reflected in the pond.

Cathi & I took a little tour in Nob Hill before breakfast - lots of beautiful old apartment buildings and homes.
Breakfast was at the World Cup, directly across the street from the hostel.
We headed downtown for the market . . .
passing the House of Louie!
We stopped often along the way to pose and see the sights.
At the Willamette River, with the Burnside Bridge behind us.
Jane really got into the spirit of the market!
It is held every weekend under the bridge, and in the surrounding area.
Jimi Hendrix was there . . .
as well as other street musicians
and face painters.
This cat and his dog were enjoying the sunny day, too.
Robin reads in a courtyard at an art gallery,
which also proved to be a great spot for a group shot.
Finally, dinner at the brewery.

On the ferry, bright and early,
waiting for the train
at the Everett station.
Cathi peeks out the door at a stop along the way,
and we sure had fun taking loads of photos!
We arrived in Portland early in the afternoon,
and walked to our hostel accomodations.
Dinner and drinks at a Vietnamese restaurant, Silk.
Then, on to Powell's Book Store, where we didn't have nearly enough time to see everything! Walking back to our lodgings, the downtown area was pretty.
