Another great evening

We went to dinner at Citrus Thai tonight and had wonderful food again. Wally chose a pumpkin curry and out- ordered my Panang yet again. Huge portions and great flavor.

Since Wally had seen mostly the walk from the Westin to the convention center, we walked down to the market after dinner. Metsker Maps of Seattle was still open and we had a great time browsing, buying, and chatting with the clerk. We spotted the Pink Door restaurant, known only by the color of the entryway; no sign other than hours.

Afterwards we headed back to the hotel, stopping at Icon Grill for a nightcap. The place is filled with art glass hung in wire baskets from chandeliers, very Willy Wonka-esque. Hard to capture it all in one photo below. We struck up a conversation with a patron from Vancouver and enjoyed some gratis drinks from our bartender after we'd paid and the conversation lingered. I had a flight of Washington wines and Wally used his order of Gentleman Jack to explain where we were from.

Great conversation with the bartender on Seattle - yep, he loves it too - and regional attitudes (pot is legal from dispensaries, but strict penalties for possession or use in a school zone). It seems it's not a fluke; this is a place universally loved by natives and visitors.
