Que greeted us at Seattle airport when we arrived on Labor Day weekend. Afterwards we met up with Phuong who was our driver as we toured Seattle. We had a late lunch at a well known and popular Dim Sum restaurant, Din Tai Fung. This is only one of two Taiwanese dim sum restaurants in the United States.

The following morning, we visited the famous Pike Place Market. It was Sunday morning and the market was crowded. The weather was surprisingly warm, not what we were expecting. We had coffee at Starbucks (of course), and enjoyed watching the street performers.

Near the historic Port of Seattle is Pier 66. Our cruise ship, NCL Pearl, was berthed there. The Pearl would take us to Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan, and Victoria, British, Columbia. We could see the ship from Historic Pike Market.
