Our trek to Taiwan has officially started. We had a 9 hour layover in Seattle. What to do but throw our bags in airport storage and hit the streets for a half day of fun! We caught an Uber to the public market and found adventure. Ryan and Corbin are calling the Taiwan Turismo a “Type B vacation”. We are in flow state and plan as we go.
The boys loved wandering around kitschy pier ships and corners and watched skate boarders, fish throwing demos, and street performers. We sat for 30 minutes and learned how to knit from the knitting dragon.
The weather was a DREAM. I’m talking coastal perfection. Windows down, sit in the sunshine, no humidity, cool gentle breeze west coast puffy cloud greatness. Could not have asked for anything better.
We did some serious damage at Pikes Market. This was my dream day for sure. A new unfamiliar place to explore, an ocean pier with sour dough and salty air, a flower market, and food everywhere? Yes! These boys understood the assignment. We ate everything in sight. Everything. “Shaunty” got FED today. In 3 hours, we ate fresh nectarines
cold press cider (that you just buy a cup for and then can try them all, as much as you’d like! Buffet beverage style)
a sourdough breakfast sandwich with bacon and eggs
TINY DONUTS! these were maple bacon flavor
fish tacos
a prawn taco
an ahi tuna steak with fries and broccoli
a bowl of clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl
and salt and straw ice cream.
Pikes Market also had samples everywhere. We tasted bread with a dozen infused oil and vinegar flavors, cheese, fresh peaches, dried apples, and beef jerky.
I loved everything about this day and can’t wait to go back to Seattle sometime with Aaron. Very cool city!
