Pier 56 onwards

Today we explored the piers further on to what we did see yesterday. This part of the waterfront is very much like San Francisco minus the sea lions. Lots of shops and eateries.

We strolled along the waterfront, sat, watched all the boats and ships, admired the Cascade Mountains as the weather was so clear and just took in the atmosphere.

We then did a little shopping for souvenirs before having some lunch. On our way back up along the piers we heard some seagulls so went and sat with them for a while. As we were there the water police were practicing their diving and as we both found that interesting we had to take photos for Tommy who is a little obsessed at present.

We headed back up through the streets and visited Target before heading back to our room for a bit of a rest. It was about 2.00pm and we headed out again at 4.00pm to see if we could buy tickets for the NFL game that was happening at the stadium near us at 7.00pm tonight. It was about a 10 minute walk and we were lucky to secure some tickets.

On our way back to the room, we went via Wholefoods to get some fruit salad, milk and water.

Back at the room, we didn’t have long to wait before we headed back to the stadium for the game.

We walked 13.7kms.Read more
