People are sticking up business cards, writing in strings of gum, it is fascinatingly gross.<br /><br />My friend who I met up with in Seattle also mentioned everyone being a fan. I thought it was great to see 12th Man flags, waitresses wearing jerseys, etc. Maybe the city just really wanted a winner, hopefully they are not fair weather fans who abandon the team when they play badly.<br /><br />That is funny about the police horses at Discovery Park. There is a waste treatment plant and it used to just military land! Still a neat place to have so close to the city, I imagine it is a treasure trove for geocaching!<br /><br />We took the ferry on our last, short day. We just went over to Bainbridge Island and had lunch and looked at the historical museum. So many things to explore and do, it'll have to wait for our next trip!irish horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289040711028666546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695120516623358773.post-33906609246466811712015-11-04T00:13:48.747-08:002015-11-04T00:13:48.747-08:00I just read that for the first time in 20 years th...I just read that for the first time in 20 years they are going to scrub that wall free of gum, but then allow people to start again. It seems to have gotten bigger over the years, and smells worse than ever. <br /><br />For some reason suddenly everyone is a football fan in Seattle (ok I know why but it's weird to observe it from afar). Literally every member of my family is a fan now, and watching football is something they do regularly - every game. It's strange to visit and see the signs of the fans everywhere. Perhaps the strangest thing of all was last year when our local German newspaper had the Seahawks stadium photo on its front page, because apparently one of the players is from this area. The name Boswell rings a bell. I'm glad you got to see a game, sorry they lost: (<br /><br />Ever since I was a little girl Discovery Park was my favorite park, and in my 20s we'd spend the night in there secretly. The Seattle Police used to keep their horses there until environmentalists complained. I went traipsing around where the paddock was and found one piece of baling twine. :( Everytime we visit home, we go to Discovery Park because geocaching is allowed there again.<br /><br />Love your Space Needle shots. Where'd you go on a ferry?<br />lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695120516623358773.post-11876370681680843642015-11-03T20:13:49.858-08:002015-11-03T20:13:49.858-08:00What a great trip!
