Below: Karen Duquette on her 8th Segway
tour in Seattle, Washington. This was one of the few tours that the
two RV Gypsies had a lot of other people on the tour with them. |
|
|
The Segway tour went down the Seattle Waterfront
towards the commercial and tourist areas of Elliot Bay, and the Segways
glided past the Aquarium and more. |
|
|
Time to stop and listen to some history of Seattle. |
|
|
|
|
Time to cruise around on the Segway and
the two RV Gypsies' did their own thing for a bit. |
|
|
Geoff was wonderful. He was an excellent
guide - so full of great information and very happy to share. It didn't
feel like a conventional tour. Geoff was real easy to talk to and his
main goal was to make sure everyone had as much fun as possible. The
two RV Gypsies felt like they had a new friend. And they plan on taking
Segway tours with some of his companies in other cities. |
|
|
|
Karen Duquette did some free-wheeling and enjoyed the thrill of being
on a Segway again. |

The two RV Gypsies returned to this and
many other areas after their Segway tour to get more photos and history.
More about the fountain and the Olympic Sculpture Park shown in the
two photos below, plus the Space Needle, art and more can be found further
down on this page, and also on this site's main menu for Washington
state by using the link at the bottom of this page. |

The Seattle Center |
Below: The Segway tour went to the Seattle Center which
is located by the Space Needle and near the amazing Chihuly Garden
and Glass. More of the Space Needle, Chihuly Garden and the art are
posted in the Seattle section; see the link at the bottom of this
page.

Karen Duquette rode her Segway toward and under the art at the Seattle Center. |

The International Fountain:
Located in the middle of the campus, the fountain operates all year
round. Built for the 1962 World's Fair, the fountain was built as a
modernist water sculpture. With over 20 spouts, the fountain goes through
programmed cycles of shooting water patterns, and is said to be accompanied
by recorded world music, which is changed every month, and chosen to
coordinate with the water patterns. The two RV Gypsies did NOT hear
any music coming from the fountain on this date. |
| |
It was a steep incline down to the International
Fountain. Karen Duquette and Geoff were the only brave ones on the Segway
tour that wanted to get closer to the fountain, and even got a bit wet.
Geoff is such a cool Segway guide and person. |

This was an amazing tour and
the two RV Gypsies plan on visiting Geoff in Tampa later this year,
and taking a Segway tour there too. |
|
Other pictures taken while on the Segway
tour are posted with the rest of Seattle's photos. |
