Tuesday: Let's go to a museum!

Tuesday we are off to the University District to the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.  They have a very large collection of Northwest Coast native work, which I just love. Their imagery and color palette are so compelling. Here's Robert with a HUGE whale piece that is outside of the museum, and also a photo of a Raven rattle--gorgeous.

In the afternoon, we were back to Pioneer Square, because of course, Robert found a Buddha he had to have at Chidori. Lunch was at Al Boccalino, which got mixed reviews from what I read, but their lunch specials were excellent--I had a pair of risottos (shrimp and salmon), which were amazingly done the way risotto should be, and Robert had minestrone and chicken piccata, not bad for $9.95 each.
