This morning, we took a ferry over to Martha's Vineyard for the day. We did some shopping in Edgartown, which is the more affluent town on the island. We weren't too impressed with the stores there. They sold alot of the same kinds of things.
We liked Oak Bluffs, which is where our ferry came to.
In Oak Bluffs, there is this area with about 300 decorated cottages. In the 1800s, these were built around the tabernacle, which is still there, but not used for religious services. The cottages are privately owned and cost between $300, 000 to $500,000. There was a little boy with a lemonade stand in front of one of the cottages selling lemonade for 25 cents. It was very cute. He had a picture hanging of he and Steve Martin. He told us that Bill Murray was there yesterday which I thought was pretty cool.
On our ferry ride over, there was news 5 Boston interviewing a lady regarding Obama's visit to the island. We were sitting next to she and her friends. I was hoping we would be on TV. I have to check their website to see if there is a video. Someone on the ferry had a tshirt on that said " I am vacationing at Martha's Vineyward with the Obamas".
Tonight, we went to an impersonator show, which was fantastic. They are 2 twin brothers, the Edwards, who did the characters. One guy does the men and the other guy impersonates the women charecters. They are fantastic and definitely a must see. They have entertained in Las Vegas for many years.
I forgot to say yesterday that drivers on Boston highways are permitted to use the right side shoulder on the road for an express lane during rush hour. Imagine trying to merge on the highway with cars going 80 mph in the shoulder.
Tomorrow, we are off to Newport, Rhode Island.
