In preparation for our trip, rather than in celebration for having finished it, we decided to eat our way through the city.
At the Pike Place Market, we got some delicious cherries (turned out they were from CA) and apple cider. We encountered a block’s worth of people waiting for…something. Turned out to be Starbucks! What’s so special about this location? Well, it’s the very first one. The only thing that differentiates it from the 17,000 others is the original logo, which you can actually see is a mermaid.
Then we met with various friends: Jenny and Tracy from the Seattle Universal Math Museum (SUMM) and Becky, Alissa’s friend and co-TA from the Summer Math Program at Carleton College.
