I decided to park down by one of the piers and walk the town in search of the original Starbucks and Pike Place market. The area was so beautiful and I came across many nice people that were so understanding when I stopped to ask for directions. I ended up walking right past my destination twice, not knowing I needed to be up one more block. Its okay though, because of being lost I was able to capture these pictures.
A dear friend of mine grew up in this area.. She asked me to please bring back the smell of salt in the air and railroad tracks.. The best I could do what capture it in photo. Ali this is for you.
I found a man playing guitar in middle of the Pike Place Market. He asked me to tell him the subject I was thinking about and he would play me a song about it. I told him "love". He asked me how long I have been married, and I told him 4 wonderful years. He then told me he would play me the song he played at his wedding 38 years ago. He then proceeded to play "There is Love".
This is so random I know.. but I was walking by and found a guy outside of a building cleaning off graffiti and I thought it was neat.. so I stopped to take a picture. He was a quiet guy.. I asked if he would let me take his picture.. he looked at me confused and nodded. When I was done I told him thank you and started to walk away.. then I heard him say "Well can I see my picture?" Oh ya.. haha.. Pretty sure he thought I was crazy. It was just a detail I found significant about my little adventure in the city.
