Seattle

I went to Seattle on Sunday, March 27th if I remember... It was my first time in the U.S. but honestly, there's nothing special at all.

I booked a tour with ClubESL (Discover Canada Tour) and I chose only the sightseeing tour, not the shopping one. We crossed the border very quickly, almost a record for our guide. We were only 13 in the bus : 11 Japanese, Matt (our guide) and me. For a while, I thought I was back to Japan, because of the language.
I think we arrived at Seattle at 1pm. Matt showed us a few places and then we had free time.
I've just walked for some hours. From the Public Market, I walked on the 1st Avenue until there was nothing to see anymore and then I went to the waterfront. At the beginning, the weather was ok - not good, just ok - but then it was so windy and it was raining so much that there was almost nobody in the streets...

Anyway... At the end of our day, I was the only one who didn't shop and I spent all the way back to Vancouver talking with the guide.

Finally, I don't think Seattle is a special city but I have to admit that if I had seen more things like the EMP, the Space Needle or others, maybe I wouldn't think the same.
At least, the Market is a very nice place and I've got a US stamp in my passport now...
