Walk to Glass Beach - Dinner with Lara and Vladimir in Cape George - August 27, 2021
We went to explore the North Beach area of the Olympic Peninsula near Port Townsend and took a long walk on North Beach all the way to Glass Beach. We found a number of pieces of ocean polished glass, small pieces, largely clear in color, as we walked along Glass Beach. We also saw the impact of the high waters and crashing tides upon the walkways that many homes had from the bluff above the beach to the beach below. We're having lovely cool, yet comfortable, days walking along the beach, but it is clear that the winter months can bring strong winds and crashing waves on to the beach and the the bluffs lining the beach area.
At night we had dinner at Lara and Valdimir's dacha in the Cape George area of the Olympic Peninsula, also near Port Townsend. Their dacha is truly lovely with wonderful garden and fruit trees, tucked into the evergreen forest. We sat out on the rear porch as the sunset and then had a tasty dinner with great conversation in their home. They recently sold their home in Seattle and have settled for part of the year in Cape George and the other part of the year they live in Tucson.
Interesting interconnections ... we met Lara and Vladimir through our friend, Annie, who also lives in Tucson for part of the year ... we met in Tucson and enjoyed carrying the friendship through to the Pacific Northwest. Tomorrow we will go to one of the Concerts in the Barn ... a chamber orchestra concert series started over 30 years ago by Lara's father ... and still going strong. More on the concert tomorrow ...
