After breakfast, we headed southwest to Forks, literary home of the Twilight series. It was interesting to see what huge interest the books and movies has generated in such a sleep little town! The Forks Visitor Center has been averaging 350 visitors from all over the world each day! Pretty amazing considering the fact that: (1) the town has a population of only 3500 people, (2) the book was located in Forks only because the author googled it and found it was most overcast town in America and (3) she only visited the town after the fact and (4) the movie wasn’t actually filmed there. The visitor center was full of Twilight fans, offered all sorts of maps, pictures, and trivia about the series. Everyone but Charlotte had read at least one of the books and/or seen the movies so it was interesting.
