Forks - where Twilight comes alive!

Forks

It is the rainiest town in the USA. Forks is surrounded by lush rainforest; the wilderness and beaches are very close to each other.

The Twilight books (and some of the movie) had put Forks on the map for Vampire tourism! Author Stephanie Meyer had chosen this sleepy town for Bella Swan's new home in the book.

We arrived Forks in the evening. So happy that this bar was opened so we managed to get a quick bite. Burgers and the Mozzarella sticks were great!

Jacob Black's house in the book

It used to be an Airbnb where Jacob's motorcycle and photo was placed in the lawn. Now this property has been bought over and apparently the new owner is not into Twilight. So it took me some time to search for this house, although it is a red house but I was doubtful at first, until I spoke to the staff at the Forks Chamber of Commerce. She confirmed that this was the right house.
