Today we did our first tourist-like thing with Jake and Elisa. We decided to go downtown Seattle and take the Underground City Tour. It's really a neat tour. You see Seattle was originally much lower in sea level when it first was built. It remained that way until June 6th, 1889. That is the date of the Great Seattle Fire. After the fire the town was rebuilt and then regraded to be higher and the remains underneath were left. This is the touring area. We toured three different parts of the underground city and learned many things about the pioneers of the city.
It was one of the best tours I have ever been on. Here are some pictures highlighting it:
Sky Lightings lighting the underground. They are purple from the Magnesium in the glass.
Jeremy was bad so we put him behind bars in the underground vault of an old bank.
bath tub in the underground, old and neat looking
parts of an old Otis Elevator left in the underground
We ended the day by stopping by the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for some caramel apples, but saved them until after we had our full dinner of Quizno's sandwiches and soups.
