Not the tropical island of Rum and Coca Cola fame, but a delightful northern California beach town. We hiked to and explored the one of the state park beaches with impressive rocks and volcanic sand then sought out an indie restaurant that served delicious seafood – great fish and chips and a wonderful smoked salmon and avocado sandwich topped off with an ice cream sundae made from local dairy sources. Ended the day soaking in the Finnish Country hot tubs behind Cafe Mokka in Arcata.
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.
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
