Weird Day :o)

Sunday, 12 June 2011

Today we went to the centre of the universe according to the people of Freemont (they have a sign that says so).

We went there because this morning, Sophie read in a travel book about the Freemont Troll from the film 10 Things I Hate About You. Funnily enough it was under a bridge. Freemont is artist central and they thought it would be artistic to put it there.


Another sculpture we found was of Lenin. An American artist bought it from Slovakia for $13,000 and had it shipped to Seattle. There was no interest in Slovakia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It stands in Freemont as a reminder Art over Politics.


When we were looking for the troll, we stopped by some random sculptures including a metal easel and frame. Guess who was happy to pose for silly pictures?


We went to the local market which sold a mixture of crafts, antiques and food. It was interesting looking at all the different products and it was certainly fun to do on a quiet Sunday.


Also!!! On a very funny note Mum's not insane :op We saw the armadillo vehicle that she saw on the first day in Seattle. It turned out to be a pig but made all laugh all the same. Can you imagine this driving around Newport? I think we're all going to have nightmares tonight.


We're leaving Seattle early tomorrow morning and heading to Port Angeles and the start of Cabins, BBQs and Drives :o) Can't wait!
