We must've caught the only rainless twenty-four hour period in Seattle in a long time.
Seattle was blessed with an asian Wal-Mart/grocer named Uwajimaya, where we purchased chili pasta, creme-brulee flavored crackers, a strange asian bread roll, and a two-liter of oolong tea. We were seriously in there for an hour, and it was a good thing that we didn't stay longer because apparently it's so popular that in order to park, you're required to buy over 7 dollars per hour.
We saw some Hello-Kitty rice packets, some tube-juices, and this unbelievable drink that said "Banana flavored grass jelly". Only in an asian market, right?
Sadly we left Seattle on that note, with our last visual being a schmorgusboard of bizzare packaged foods. We drove all the way out to a Super-8 outside of Spokane. It was there that we continued our hotel ritual of watching Larry King's coverage on the Texas UFO sighting. It's the same thing every show, with nothing new to add ever, but the people they get to interview from Texas make it all worth the while. Driving through Spokane we stopped into "Spokane Subs" and peaked around the Gonzaga University, which I have to say suuuucckkkksss. The school looks pretty small, a little boring, and everything hinted that religion was the only thing to do. Huge signs adorned every street saying cheerful things like "Learn to live your faith!".

we got to Missoula, where we wanted to pick up a few new CD's for the drive. Weis typed in "Records" in the GPS, which took us to a place called Habbilis Records. The place looked like a barrack, or a bomb shelter, that was abandoned years ago. I think it was a recording studio at one time... not what we wanted, so we went to get some coffee. We tried the GPS again by typing in "Brew" and Blakc Horse Coffee Brewers came up. Of course that sounded killer so we searched for it... for too long really, only to see that it was this the result.
We grabbed some beer at the Iron Horse Brew Pub, I think they were
-Big Sky TroutSlayer (not recommended)
-Big Sky Moose Drool Brown Ale
-Kettle House Brewery Cold Smoke Scoth Ale (highly recommended)
More driving, yadda yadda, I feel like the posts are seriously all the same!
