After satisfying my sweet tooth, I ventured down the block and saw a large locomotive with the words "Spirit of Washington" on the side.
According to a bystander, this train leaves from Freighthouse Square and heads to Mt. Rainer and Lake Kapowsin.
They offer service of food and drink ... centered around my favorite meal: Dinner.
I guess it is called the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train.
The mechanics behind such a vehicle always astound me. I had an uncle who was accidentally thrown on a train from St. Petersburg to Yarolslov while investigating the mechanics of a locomotive.
His only provisions were water and a few vegetables.
He THOUGHT he was drinking regular water, but it was rather strong. It turns out the heat from the train, and a few other factors made his potatoes ferment. A nice human named Sminrov appreciated this delectable treat, and took the recipe to Moscow. My family still makes it to this day in Norway, with a few modifications.
I digress.
It looks as if the spirits on this locomotive would be as wonderful as those on the trip my uncle took.
Oh, I'm still looking for a book store recommendation, I'm trying to get a copy of the book with my cousin on the cover. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Until next time,
TacomaGnome

Gnome,
What about King's books? Have you given a look there?
There is a book shop just around the corner from there, catty-wampus from Frighthouse Square (I think). I don't know the name but have heard great things.
I second the Captain's suggestion of King's Books... seeing as you enjoyed your tour of Tacoma.
