Rialto

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...

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history.
