Today was an of the sea day. We went to the Seattle Aquarium this morning. For once, the Giant Pacific octopus was wide awake and putting on quite the show. It glided all over its tank, pressing tentacles against the glass to the ohs and ahs of the visitors. It snatched a herring lightning fast from its keeper, too. We also saw a large wolf eel in full swim in the dome tank, and had a chance to view embryo skates in their egg pouch - extremely cool!
Then we went to Pike Place Market to buy supplies for holiday dinners. It was pretty much seafood; king crab, salmon - smoked and fresh, and mussels. No octopus, eel, or skate on the menu. We also found some great avocados and blood oranges (okay go on, make Dracula fangs here, you know you want to). I love the holidays in the Northwest!
