Sunset at Rialto seemed too good an opportunity to pass up, but we didn’t stay on the beach the whole time. Instead we made the nine minute drive to the Three Rivers Resort Restaurant for some Halibut Fish & Chips. The food was good but the references to The Twilight movies filmed here were in the Forks, Washington area were all but lost on the two of us. Then with full tummies we headed back to the beach and found front row seats on a giant drift log and watched the evening light bathe the beach. Clouds obscured the final dip of the sun below the horizon but we reveled in the beauty and peace of the moment as darkness descended on the furthest western edge of the contiguous forty-eight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
