Today we arrived in Seattle, the first leg of our mexican adventure. We don't have a computer, just an iPod so can't upload any pictures, but it was a fun day. We saw the famous fish market, the original starbucks, two mummies, and explored the underground part of the city which is pretty creepy. The city burnt down in 1889 and they decided to build it up to stop the flooding so built the buildings with the second floor as the main level and entrace, then built retaining walls with roads on top and slowly filled the gap with dirt and unwanted stuff, leaving the footpath at the original level. Then they ran out of money and the footpaths stayed at a lower level for 4 years. 17 people died from falling from the road level to the pavement. Weird.
Anyway, we're off to Mexico city tomorrow, which is pretty exciting!
