Feed the Birds

We braved the wind and rain today to trek around downtown Seattle (we did have to make a pit stop at Columbia Sportswear so The Professor could add to his pitiable shoe collection - the leather shoes he wears constantly are starting to get holes and the water leaks right in).

I have had a craving for Ivar's clam chowder for awhile now, so after a trip to the seriously artsy Seattle Public Library, a visit to the 40th floor of Columbia Center (second highest Starbucks in the world!) and a walk through Pike Place (we had doughnuts... try not to be too jealous), we headed to Pier 54. It's a tourist trap but I still love it. YUM.

For some odd reason Ivar's "encourages" you to feed the birds (but the seagulls only - no pigeons! death to pigeons!) and they will swoop down and eat a french fry right out of your hand... as evidenced by The Professor here.
