Today, November 22nd, I went to Pike Place Market and the International District. I took the bus Route 550 from Mercer Island (where I live). I interviewed people from all over the world and all kinds of jobs. Let's see what they said:

Katie here reporting from snowy Mercer Island. I love to play in the snow with my neighbors and my brother. These are their names: Maddie, Meghan, Ben, Cassie, and John. The chickens in the coop are our neighbors the Weikers. They are out of town in Florida. My dad skiied and I rode in the sled to feed and water the chickens tonight. My brother Ben you seen in the next picture is holding his sled and it goes really fast. The final picture is of me and my mom.
