Certainly one of the most colorful vendors at The Olympia Wooden Boat Fair this weekend in downtown Olympia.

A slightly different view of a downtown Olympia street corner through our dog's eye.

Here we are at the start of a new month, which means another CDPB Theme Day. For this month's theme "passageway" we're revisiting a place I've already taken you a couple of times. This is the entry to the Hotel Olympian, a grand old building in downtown Olympia. Not only did I show you the outside here, we even took you to dinner at The Urban Onion here, and showed you what they do with you if you complain about the food here. Besides those things if you look straight ahead at the signs you'll see there's a Christian Science Reading Room downstairs to the right, and there's a small bookstore immediately to the left. Now, if you look upstairs at the far end you'll see several sets of doors. Those doors lead you to a good sized dance floor where they not only hold dances on a regular basis, you can also take lessons up there. I believe my wife is going to take me up there one of these days.

Spotted in the lobby of the Hotel Olympian. Ask your grandma if this would make the terrorists talk!

Plumbing (and related hardware) upstairs inside this building.
