So often we jump in our cars to go somewhere without giving it a thought. But what do we miss when we whiz by at lightning speeds? On our trip to Seattle to visit family we stayed downtown and decided not to rent a car. I'm so glad we didn't because we saw so much of the city we had never seen before. We also saved money on both the rental and expensive downtown parking. I probably walked at least three miles each day and was able to see, smell and hear Seattle. I got to take pictures of some amazing sculpture and architecture that I probably would have missed otherwise. There were grapefruit sized brass plaques of Native American icons on one building, intricate man-hole cover art, and tulips popping up out of just about every pot. Also I explored much more than I would have by car, went into little shops and even toured the public library. Next time you go out of town try using public transportation and walking - you might be amazed.
