Second day in the city, it rained. Lucky for us, we have reserved the camp site for another night so we don't have to pack up our tent in the rain. Also, the tarp over the tent was set up very well, thanks to Pramod, and we didn't get rained on in our sleep!!
Rainy day, we went to the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. It was great! We got to see some glass work in action while a team worked on a flower--Putting glass together, another team worked on a tiger--making textured glass & shaping it, and the last team was blowing glass bowls. Very cool. I liked it more than the museum itself. There were some pieces out that were designed by kids and made into glass by professionals. Those were really fun. The gift shop also had some amazing stuff that was just too expensive and breakable to bring home with us.
We then drove to China Town/the International District to walk & eat. It was like a different world there, and the parking was a little cheaper.
Since it was still somewhat rainy, we decided to go see a movie. Not very Seattle specific, but there's only so much touring one can do before they need to relax (and I don't mean the 1/5 days in Seattle--I mean the 2 months that we've been traveling). There was a theater by our camp site that had $2 movies! Only $4 for the two of us. What could be better than that? How about $1 Tuesdays? So we decided to see two movies: Day and Knight and The Last Airbender. We liked them both for very different reasons.
