Saturday 15th of july.

Well last few days we've been doing either sweet FA, sunbathing, drinking, dancing and a bit more drinking. Drinking lots of water of course.

We've been to the famous Fado's and drank the place dry and then went to a club a couple doors down the road from Fado's. We danced the night away, as you will see in the pictures. We did have a great body shaking video of Karen from that night but she deleted it. Its ok Mary and myself will be able to give anyone a visual shown of her dance.

We did a walk about the city centre market. Mary and Karen went wild in an amusement park that is at the bottom of the Space Neddle. I didn't go on any of the rides, watching the facial expressions of Mary and Karen was so much more fun then going on them.

We went for a lovely walk along the lake side down from Gary's place. Loads of lovely boats and yacths in the bay.

Saturday we went on a road trip to Mount St Helen's. OMG the views along the way were amasing. Breath taking they were. We took the wrong turn off the freeway. But just meant it was the long way around the mountain. This mountain is a volcano which went off May 18th 1980. the effect of the eruption you can see from the pics. To have a even better view of the country side we had to walk up the side of the mountain. A million steps up it was. Chest was killing us jus a tad.lol. But was so worth the pain when you saw the view.

Got back home then after 10pm. Quick wash and changed and back out the door we went. In the door of the first bar, got a drink. Mary and Karen went up for the secound round, 15 mins later Mary and Karen came back. No drinks. Seems if you aint a local you got to wait ages to get a drink.

Gary decided to bring us to a mates of his bar. Route 99. it is a blues bar. Walked in the door and the country western music banging. People all dressed up as if they were in the west.lol.

One red bull and vodka down and then a shot and then another red bull vodka and god knows how many drinks drank, all i know it was 5.30 in the morning. Time to head home.

Walked out on to the port view. The light of the day had hit us. The view of the sun and the lake was great. Stood there for a while looking out onto the water. But really had to find a taxi home. Afew blockes later and a sing a long along the road later we got a cab. Straight into bed for a few hours sleep.
