My Wonderful Trip To Seattle

Last weekend, I went on a Seattle trip. It was my first time to go to Seattle. Before going there, I had no idea about Seattle except it was the place where Ichiro plays baseball. Of cause, we could go to that place, Safeco field, but my favorite place in Seattle is Pike Place Market. I went to the first shop of Starbucks and drank some coffee. I thought it tasted better than coffee of other Starbucks because it was the first shop. I also bought some original blend coffee beans of Pike Place Market. I like coffee so I could enjoy that place very much. On the last day of the trip, I walked around the market with some of my friends. It was very crowded in the market and people were active. I saw the performance of the fish dealer who tossed some fish. I was very surprised because I have never seen people throw fish. To walk around the market was a good experience for me. I could see their lifestyle and culture of the people of Seattle.

Our hotel, The Red Lion was nice. I was on second floor. I shared a two-person room with three people. So, I used an auxiliary bed. On the night of the first day, I and my friends wanted to put the water on the tub, so , we tried and took a bath. But the bath tub in this hotel was shallower than Japanese one. We could not submerged our self enough, but taking a bath eased my tired body. I always went to bed earlier than others although I napped on the bus all the time. Maybe I love to sleep very much. But the second night I slept well in the hotel room.

During this trip, I had many wonderful experiences and memories. I could also see beautiful view in many places. I especially like the night light of Seattle from the boat on the way back from the Tillicum Village. I thought there are many wonderful places in Washington state and I came to like America more than before. I really want to go there some day again. I want to take my Japanese friends there.
