Another amazing day! Early – for me! – this morning, Noni and I took the ferry from Hyannis to Martha’s Vineyard. After renting a car for the day, we explored the island, including three lighthouses, lots of shops, exquisite homes, and breathtaking ocean views. Although there were quite a few tourists, most properly wearing masks indoors (although some wearing chin straps more than masks), I can see how absolutely crazy MV must be during the height of summer! We picked a great day – delightful weather and not an overabundance of people.

Geese enjoying MV almost as much as we did.

Kite surfers!

Edgartown – we loved this tree!

Most of the villages on MV have cute shopping districts like this one.

Menemsha beach where we sat on the wall and ate our lobster rolls for lunch.

Gay Head Cliffs and Gat Head Lighthouse – Aquinnah. The cliffs are a national landmark; fossil bones of whales, camels, and wild horses have been found in the cliff layers. This lighthouse, built in 1856, is the only working lighthouse on MV.
