Started the day with a walk in the rain on Rialto Beach. It seemed like a scene from science fiction, perhaps Oo Topos. It was unlike any beach we had ever experienced. Instead of shells and white sand it had water smoothed pebbles and rocks. Instead of condos, it was lined with old growth forest. It was strewn with positively huge downed tree trunks. It was cold and rainy and gray and positively glorious! After a fish & chips lunch at a restaurant in the middle of nowhere we headed for the Hoh Rain Forest. That too, was a landscape like none we had ever seen. The Spruce Forest and the Hall of Mosses trails inspired in incredible awe. We finished the day at the Kalaloch Lodge with cedar planked salmon for dinner.
National Portrait Gallery
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
Very Impressive.
