A Fremont Adventure

Yesterday My friend and I decided to go to the Fremont market, which was easier said then done.
First off neither of us drive, so we took the bus. Beforehand I did the whole online trip planner that the community transit website has. Well as it turned out the instructions it gave us didn't work. We got on the right bus, and it took us into Seattle like it was supposed to, but it didn't stop at the stop we were supposed to get off on. In fact both the street that the stop was on and our next bus appeared to be nonexistent. They weren't on any maps or bus routs, this lead to the beginning of our adventure.

Our adventure began with us somehow being in the international district. Not entirely sure how that happened, but at least we weren't lost somewhere boring.

Luckily for us there is a transit center in the international district!
(note: in the picture the skirt I made myself a few days ago)

However we still had no idea what bus to take since the bus we thought we were supposed to take was nowhere to be found.

But alas we found a bus that took us to Fremont!!!

Now why couldn't the Internet instructions have told us to take that bus in the first place?

We finally made it to the market!!
You have no idea how happy we were.

And Evidently it was Lance's birthday.
(no, we have no idea who Lance is)
We had a great time walking around the market. There was a lady selling bags there who I had just seen on Saturday at the Edmonds market, she was really nice and had the cutest messenger bags I have ever seen! Here is her website http://laarniandtita.com/ . She was very happy to discover that I had made my skirt.
When we got to the market we were hungry so food was first on the to do list. I had the best falafel I think I have ever had! Oh man it was amazing!!
I also walked away from the market with an adorable enchanted tin lunch box and an Ebony&Ivory 45. I took my friend to all my favorite vintage stores.
And we visited our good friend Lenin

Conveniently Fremont has directions, so we didn't get lost a second time.

We also visited our other friend, the Fremont Troll.
Then we walked down by the lake and on the way I couldn't resist this shot of the underside of the overpass.


After all that excitement we still managed to make it home safe and sound. (the trip back was alot easier as we didn't use the Internet instructions)
