Leg three - Seattle.

I have been to Seattle a few times but always focused on boat stuff and visiting my friends Ralph and Roena. That is to say I had not been a tourist here before. 

We have been pleasantly surprised at what Seattle has to offer and realize that in our week here we are only scratching the surface. 

I must say that the search for a croissant has ended at Le Panier. It is a bakery that has been rated in the top 10 in USA. It is run by a French born and trained pastry chef. We went there yesterday and loaded up on bread, coffee and pain au chocolate. 

We have been to the aquarium( excellent), bused over to the Ballard locks and fish ladder. 

Mike and esther treated all of us to an excellent meal last night at an Asian style place. 

They are going to the space needle today ( Mike  is not busy with meetings this afternoon). Robin and I will organize her fast feet ticket and do some bunging out on Tatoosh. 

Robin leaves tomorrow, Mike et al on Saturday morning and Kevin arrives Saturday morning for leg #4. 

The weather continues to be perfect- sunny and 19-20.

 Over and out until start of leg 4
