May 17, 05: We flew to Seattle. Nowadays, air travel is just like cattle-car of years past. The flight was packed. Mercifully, it was a short flight. It took a while for us to get a taxi to our hotel near the Space Needle. We tried to check in but the room was not ready, yet. The Hampton Inn clerk was a bit absent-minded. We left our luggage at the counter and walked to the Pike Place Market. We passed by the Space Needle. It was a bit shadier than I'd thought.
May 18: Richard came by early waiting for us in front of the hotel. We checked out and went with him to Port Angeles. It was a bit farther than I'd thought. We had a nice dinner with his wife. Their house in the country is spacious. He'd drop us off at the Coho MotorCoach to Victoria, B.C.
