Pike Place Market is the #1 visited site in Seattle and one of the most visited sites in the world. But it’s not a monument, it’s not a museum, it’s not even a cultural site. It’s a public market, built in 1907. Overlooking the Elliott Bay, it’s a place where you can shop for fresh…
A state park full of historic buildings that are supposed to tell the history of San Diego; that sounded exactly like something I would love. I could not wait to check out Old Town San Diego and learn about a part of California’s history I did not know as much about. What I discovered is…
