The next day it was breakfast at the Art Cliff Café, and then to packing (Nunziati’s had to catch a Ferry to the mainland then to transport to the airport). Bon Voyage John and Nancy –
we will miss you!!!!!!
After the Nunziati’s departed, we cleaned and did laundry for a couple of hours, then rented bikes for a ride to Edgartown, 8 plus miles away. It was beautiful – riding by marshes and beaches and
Cape Cod style houses perched by the white-capped sea overlooking the gorgeous sailboats criss crossing the water. We rode through East Chop then Oak Bluffs. Oak Bluffs is ‘extreme
Victorian’, situated in the midst of the historic gingerbread campgrounds, which was very crowded with cars and people and as the wind was kicking up, dust. We rode until it started
getting too windy, and then turned for home to be there in time for our dinner guests, Paul and Pam Donlin, John’s friends from his summer at Oxford thirty-ish years ago. They live just a ferry
ride away from Martha’s Vineyard.
We had dinner at the Blue Canoe, that Pam had selected for dinner months before and was coincidentally located right across from the boat. It was fun for John, Pam and Paul to get
caught up in 30 years of time in just a couple of hours. Before we knew it, the 9:30 ferry was about to depart so nostalgia time had to come to an end.
