Going to Ballard happened to be a smelly and salty but great recreational activity in as well as visiting the restaurants in the area.

       Our classmates and I were really interested in watching what we learnt about The Locks and Salmon in class in the Ship Canal. These locks have been built with this incredible engineering which main purpose to help boats to cross from one side to the other is to move boats from the water level of the lakes to the water level of the Puget Sound. In additions these locks prevent the sea water to get mixed from the Puget Sound with the fresh water of the lakes. I had the chance to see that happened and it was really exciting how it is possible to maintain the level of the water and the way the water goes up.

      We also looked forward to see salmons, and the way the release their offspring, unfortunately that was not possible, at least I could see a single salmon.

     Once having seen all this, we went to grab a bite, our teacher suggested two places, The Totem House and a Fish Restaurant, of course I chose The Totem House because the teacher told us that there delicious hamburgers are sold and as being a hamburger lover, I could not miss the chance, and I was right, the hamburger I had was OMG, hehe….I planning to return to this place one day.
