Portland to Seatlle and Billy Idol

After dinner with Claire and a visit to the hospital to see trooper Sandy recovering from her stroke, Elli and I headed for Pike Place Market this morning. The trip was uneventful until we got near Seattle, and then the traffic was so bad I could have sworn I was in LA. We finally made it to market and had a wonderful time checking out all the samples. What can beat a trip to Pike Place, the oldest continaully operating market in the country. With a bagful of local nectarines and Ranier cherries, then we headed north beyond Everett, stopping at Tulalip Casino to stay overnight. What a surprise to learn there was a Billy Idol concert in the outdoor amphitheatre. No matter that I didn't have tickets, it could be heard everywhere!
