The week has gone by quickly and it's our last day in Seattle. Hamish has a few last things to do with work to complete and afterwards we took the bus northwards to Volunteer Park. The ride on the bus was "interesting". Suffice to say colourful characters ride the bus a lot. Amazing how he could keep up a monologue for over 25mins.
Volunteer Park is in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood, which is a rather well-to-do area
. The houses are rather substantial and beautiful.
The main reason to go there was to visit the Asian Art Museum. It's a small museum but has a great collection. The highlight was definitely the special exhibition on photos of the caves in Dung Huang. They are caves Buddhist temple caves dating back to 6th century. Amazing images, but alas photography wasn't permitted. But we took pictures of many of the other exhibits.
After lunch we had a quick look around Pioneer Square and International District, as Hamish hadn't seen the areas. Then it was back to the hotel to pack for an early morning start.
