<p style="text-align: right;"><em>"To the best of my knowledge
US is the only country in the world
where vacations are measured by hours."</em>

As usual I went to a Native Americans reservation La Push to the west of Seattle on Olympic Peninsula.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just got back from the vacation. Only a week long, too short&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em>&#8220;To the best of my knowledge<br />
US is the only country in the world<br />
where vacations are measured by hours.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>As usual I went to a Native Americans reservation La Push to the west of Seattle on Olympic Peninsula.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-151" title="Colorful Sunset, La Push, WA" src="http://www.eldaruniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ColorfulSunset.JPG" alt="Colorful Sunset, La Push, WA" width="576" height="432" /></p>
<p>So, what about werewolves? Simple. There was a movie &#8220;Twilight&#8221; about a year ago. How I found later, based on a popular book series with the first one under the same title. Frankly, I did not read the book and I did not watch the movie either. AFAIK, some regular Hollywood vampire stuff. Although, I have to admit, there is enough twilight and mists in the area. Like this:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-153" title="Twilight" src="http://www.eldaruniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Twilight.JPG" alt="Twilight" width="576" height="432" /></p>
<p>Or, this:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-154" title="Mists, La Push" src="http://www.eldaruniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mists.JPG" alt="Mists, La Push" width="576" height="432" /></p>
<p>Of course, there was enough sun too:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-156" title="Sun" src="http://www.eldaruniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Sun.JPG" alt="Sun" width="576" height="432" /></p>
<p>And under the sun there are many more beautiful things to see, especially during the low tide:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-157" title="Sea Stars" src="http://www.eldaruniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/SeaStars.JPG" alt="Sea Stars" width="576" height="432" /></p>
<p>Back to werewolves. In both the movie and the book, a small town Forks is the places where vampires live. Actually, that&#8217;s the closest place with a supermarket, so I was dropping by to shop and get the right kind of gas for the car. One hotel even has an ad: &#8220;Edward Cullen did not sleep here!&#8221;</p>
<p>Also, according to the book, nearby tribe of Native American were werewolves and enemies of vampires. For anybody local or visiting the place as often as I do, that&#8217;s a very clear hint: Quileute tribe believes it originated from wolves and La Push is their home.</p>
<p>The area heavily commercialize the movie popularity and on the way from Forks (and highway 101) to La Push, about 7 miles to each, near a small restaurant, store and gas station there is a road sign: &#8220;Treaty Line: No Vampires Beyond This Point!&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-160" title="No Vampires" src="http://www.eldaruniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/NoVampires.JPG" alt="No Vampires" width="576" height="488" /></p>
<p>So, such a romantic place, and no vampires even in a New Moon:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-161" title="New Moon, La Push, WA" src="http://www.eldaruniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/NewMoon.JPG" alt="New Moon, La Push, WA" width="576" height="432" /></p>
