Day 58 Sunday 29th May 2011
We took our last walk in the environs of SEATAC airport in search of a steakhouse that was showing up on Google maps. We located it inside a nearby Clarion Hotel but the restaurant decor was not exactly inviting so we put off the decision to eat there until latrer when we would be too hungry to care anyway.
On our way back to the hotel we were about to pass the local Denny’s when I suggested that we should, by way of a tribute to American Diner food, have our last USA meal there in this most American of all American icons instead of the steakhouse. And so that is what we did – stuffed ourselves to the brim with Nachos starter for two followed by fish for me and chicken for Mark and then, unprecendented for us, a pudding of carrot cake and ice cream. The carrot cake slice was HUGE, so big in fact that it beat us. We waddled back to the hotel stopping only to give the street beggar who we spoke to most days during our stay a pocketful of dimes, nickels & quarters that had accumulated over the past couple of weeks. Christmas had come early for this poor guy as he eagerly received the five or six dollars worth of silver from Mark’s hand.

We didn’t do much else except pack bags ready for the off tomorrow.
