Sunday 23rd September

First thing this morning we took a trip up the Space Needle. It was very clear and we could see for miles around in all directions.

Nearby is the Experience Music Project, a museum of popular music. In the entrance hall is this sculpture made up of guitars and banjos. It was fairly quiet inside so we were easily able to listen to everything that we wanted to.

On the floor below was a science fiction exhibition which included Captain Kirk's chair from the original Star Trek series.

Part of the Seattle Future 50 Project was today's exhibition of about 40 electric cars and we were able to talk with their enthusiastic owners.

We took the monorail into downtown Seattle. It must have seemed very futuristic when it was built 50 years ago.

Once downtown we explored Pike Place Market and the area around it.
