We arose very early one Saturday morning, drove down to the Woods Hole departure point, got pointed back the direction we came to the parking lot and its shuttle (10 miles back down the road!), caught the shuttle at the time we should've been catching the ferry, arrived back at Woods Hole in time to miss the next freight ship, and finally purchased our tickets on a ferry going to a different destination point than our intended one. Not exactly a smooth start to the day, but we boarded the ferry and were off on our adventure!

What a lovely day for you. I also love Susan Branch, can't wait for her to finish this next book, so she can start blogging again!
ReplyDeleteRepliesYes! I love her blog too! Did you read "A Fine Romance" about their trip to England? If you haven't, I heartily recommend it.
DeleteYes, I have a copy of the book. My niece lived on Cape Cod (husband in the Military) at the time Susan was selling it and doing book tours...so my niece bought several for family members at that time!
DeleteOh good! Wouldn't want you to miss that little gem!

Did you see her, our friend Susan? LOL! The pics are so beautiful!! I wondered if you got to see that little cottage that she first lived in before she married Joe! I would love to see that beautiful island!!
ReplyDeleteRepliesHee! No, I didn't see her. I did see (from the outside) The Black Dog Tavern, which her Joe used to own. (Did you know that The Black Dog Tavern has a cookbook, back from his days of owning it? Amazing recipes!) We pretty much did no exploring whatsoever in Vineyard Haven, so...no, I didn't see the cottage. Some other time we will have to explore more! Justification for another trip!
