Stop 5: Seattle Sept. 25-27

Day 1: Rumba Bar - From the Anderson School we headed for the Hawaiian General Store which was only about 15 minutes on the way into downtown Seattle. Then we dropped off luggage and returned the rental car. We wandered around downtown and headed downhill towards Pike’s Market to start checking things off our to do list. Checked in & headed down towards Pike St and started walking uphill to Rumba.

It was the 5th anniversary of Rumba so there were a few celebrations going on. Checked out their impressive rum bible, had a few beverages and food (jerk chicken cooked outside on bbq) and headed back to hotel.

Seattle Day 2: Olympic Sculpture Park / Museum of Pop Culture / Ohana / Diller Room

More walking as today was the Museum of Pop Culture and getting our bearings. After breakfast down at Pike’s Market we walked towards Olympic Sculpture Park and then to the museum.
Museum is of course very cool if you are a sci-fi movie and TV geek. One of the exhibits was closed for “filming”, so we were told to come back tomorrow and they would let us in to see the last section.

After the museum and since it was Tuesday we headed down to the Diller Room, but we learned the Justin doesn’t start until around 6:00. So we walked back down the street to Ohana. We had a light snack and a couple of beverages. Ohana does have that feel like you are at a beach bar in Hawaii or somewhere similar. Nice bar especially if you like sushi or sashimi. It has a very relaxed feel, in the late afternoon at any rate.

So now back to The Diller Room and a spot at the bar. Justin is a beast behind the bar with every drink spot on. After a classic each we then focused on some of his creations, all of which were great.
