Alaska: Day 11 (07-04-10) Seattle

The next morning we woke up, put on our walking shoes, and ventured out into the city.

After some shopping, we found a great Italian restaurant for lunch called Cafe Bengodi.We decided to take an Underground Tour of Seattle. Their website describes their tour as a "leisurely, guided walking tour beneath Seattle’s sidewalks and streets. As you roam the subterranean passages that once were the main roadways and first-floor storefronts of old downtown Seattle, our guides regale you with the stories our pioneers didn’t want you to hear. The tour begins inside Doc Maynard’s Public House, a restored 1890s saloon. Following a short intro, we’ll walk through historic Pioneer Square to three different sections of Underground—about three blocks in all."

After a short rest back at the hotel we changed for dinner. I sat beside a nice woman on the plane who suggested we eat one night at the Dahlia Lounge. We made reservations and looked forward to our last night out on our trip.
We spent the evening taking turns talking about our "favorites" on the trip. My sister had a great idea to talk about all five senses- our favorite smell, taste, touch, sound, and sight.
We then headed back to the hotel to pack for our trip home the next day.
