Martha's Vineyard

Hey ... we are off again and there is nothing quite like an early morning  ferry trip... Car is on board, the sun is shining  and we are off to Martha's vineyard.  Lighthouse cottages await.

First stop a cup of coffee or tea or something... Loved this place a typical diner. My how they could  chat and flip the french toast and sausages... loved it, but tea was enough for us!

Don't you love the vitality of this art... if only I the space... oh yes and the dollars!

Somehow we always seem to be visiting lighthouses... guess we just love the wilderness!  Gayhead just great!

How about  these lighthouse keepers' houses?  Look at those chimneys!

 Everyone kept telling us that we should have cocktails and watch the setting sun from the verandah at the Harbour View Hotel.  

So off we went ... now it's not often we have a cocktail but when we do we like the full deal... Margaritas gently salted around the rim of a delicately shaped glass (spoilt brat or what?)  First disappointment no cocktails on the verandah... second disappointment margarita in a tooth mug!

Off to dinner to taste the famous lobster.  Oh my goodness how big is it?  A much stronger  taste than our lobsters with the claws being the best bit!

A  few lobster facts...

The lobster's anatomy is pretty weird... Its brain is located in its throat, its nervous system in its abdomen, its teeth in its stomach and its kidneys in its head. It also hears using its legs and tastes with its feet. One of the few things lobsters have in common with humans: They tend to favor one front limb, meaning they can be right-clawed or left-clawed.
