Massachusetts: Martha's Vineyard

We didn't actually make it to Nantucket. Luckily we figured out before getting to Hyannis to catch the ferry that the ferry schedule had changed the day before, and the timing wouldn't work for us. Our other choice was to go to Martha's Vineyard, which turned out to be perfect! The weather was sunny and pleasant--t-shirt weather part of the day. The ferry ride was fun. The island has charm--and expensive homes! It started out as a whaling center, but was also an early Methodist camp meeting place, so there were various streets and buildings with Methodist terminology: Circuit Street (now full of shops), Meeting House, Wesley Road... An old twisted tree had been the site of many worship gatherings. We also found a Christ United Methodist Church! Saw another church (Episcopalian) with windows made by Tiffany. We took the island bus to 3 different cities, and had lunch (yes, wonderful New England chowder!) at a Seafood Chanty by the tiny ferry to Chappaquiddick Island.
