Three members of TOHG, Nancy Ballantyne, Margaret Kehoe, and Carol Newman, recently spent a week exploring the island of Martha’s Vineyard. The cars were left behind in Falmouth and we took our bicycles on the ferry to Oak Bluffs. The weather all week was delightful. This was the last week of June and not too busy. Martha’s Vineyard is great for biking and walking and has wonderful trails away from the road. One day we took the local “Chappy” ferry to Chappaquiddick and did some exploring by bike. On another cycling trip, we visited Edgartown and beyond where we found a nice beach and ate our picnic lunches there. Another day we left our bikes behind and used public transportation to get to an outlying destination and visited Menemsha which is a small working fishing village. We ended the day there sitting on some rocks by the water eating our delicious lobster rolls.
Our apartment in Oak Bluffs was in a colorful Victorian house within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and beaches. We dined at a restaurant by the water where it was very nice to watch all the lovely boats and yachts that dock there.
