Monday morning we returned to Seattle for another day of adventure via the Bainbridge Island Ferry.

| We had lunch at the 5 Point Café which was named "Most Iconic Bar in Washington State". This "colorful" edgy café was established in 1929. It was ok for lunch but we wouldn't bring our Grandchildren here. |
We spent the afternoon at the EMP (Experience Music Project) Museum in Seattle Center. This 140,000 square foot building is anything but square. Frank O. Gehry designed this museum to resemble a smashed guitar. We couldn't see it, but this IS Washington. I guess you need to be high in the Space Needle to see it. Featured displays include Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana, since both Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain were born in the Seattle area. Other "Experiences" we enjoyed: Guitar Gallery, Horror Films, Fantasy, Science Fiction and Star Trek Gallery.

After the EMP Museum, we took the Monorail a mile and returned to the waterfront district. Pike Place Market is a massive farmers market/mall, open seven days a week. You can purchase anything from bouquets of fresh flowers, glass ornaments, and pretty much anything you want in this multi block, four story waterfront market. We stopped at Piroshky Russian Bakery which always has a long line. We had to try some of their famous rolls to go. We purchased an apple cinnamon roll, cinnamon cardamom braid, fresh rhubarb Piroshky and a cherry white chocolate for breakfast the next day. They were amazingly good.
