I and my host family went to Seattle like a short trip on July 19th, Saturday and spent the day their and slept at John’s cousin’s house and came back at July 20th, Sunday. We went to see the MLB (Seattle Mariners VS Cleveland Indians) which was on Sunday so we left at about 10a.m. on saturday.
It took almost about 3 hours to Seattle by car. First we went to a market called ‘Pike Place ‘. It’s a market that has all kinds of things starting from fruits, vegetables, clothes, accessories to antiques and more, which was much bigger and greater and famous than the ‘Saturday Market’ in Portland.
There were so many stores selling so many things and so many people at those stores. At one of the fish stores the clerks were throwing fish to each other. That store was famous for the performance of throwing fish. I also saw a group of singers singing in the street advertising their new album. After seeing the Pike Place, we went to the Karen’s who’s John’s cousin. We slept there. I played Wii with Melina who’s 12 years old. It was so fun^^!
The next day we went to the Safeco Stadium to see the game of the Mariners. The stadium was huge and majestic, and it had a roof that was moveable so it could be used when raining. In the stadium there were so many shops that sells foods or things about Mariners. The game between Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Indians was so great, though the Mariners lost. It was unbelievable that I was seeing a real Major League Baseball game!! Before I was only able to see on TV, but now I saw with my own eyes. I saw Shin-soo Choo at the Clevelands. He had 2 singles today. At yesterday match he hit a homerun. It was really exciting.
Seattle was a great place to visit. Good! REALLY GOOD!
