With a degree of trepidation we set out this morning to hike to Hole in the Wall from the Rialto Beach parking lot, in Olympic National Park on Washington State's Pacific Coast. It's only two miles each way. Oh yeah, it's through beach rock and sand. How will the...
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...
There's nothing like sitting on an ancient giant tree on a rocky shore watching Pacific waves crashing near our feet and dark clouds scuttling overhead while writing a blog. There might be a glorious sunset this evening. We might not want to wait out in the cold to...
Wow! We got to see salmon run! We really did! Clued in by the ranger at the Olympic National Park Visitors Center that the coho and Chinook salmon are running. So fortified with Fish and Chips at Next Door Gastropub in Port Angeles, Washington, we headed to Salmon...
One evening in September 1975 at Patrick Henry Inn after a long day of touring Williamsburg VA along with hordes of tourists, we watched a report on the evening news of two chimps, named Chuckie & Judy that had escaped from the local zoo. Just opened the...
After some deliberation and a stop at the Visitors Center at Port Angeles for information, we decided to make the drive up to the highest point in Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge. The ranger told us that at the entrance they would not permit more vehicles to...
And when the rain let up enough, who could resist one more sunset stroll on Kalaloch Beach?
Early this morning we opted to skip the early morning Ranger Talk on the beach thinking we'd catch it tomorrow before we pack up. Then as we were cleaning up after breakfast the rain started. We tucked the generator in under the T@B for shelter then we tucked...
We opted to stay put most of the day. Set up chairs in the woods behind the T@B and just relaxed. Bits of sun filtered in once in a while but mostly the day was gray. We did some walking around the campground but nothing strenuous. Late in the afternoon we climbed...

On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
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.
