PM and AM



After Monday’s lunch at Martha’s Vineyard ($14 dollars extra to add four shrimp to my salad), we decided yesterday that it might be wise to scale down a bit.
We’d had a late lunch, weren’t all that hungry, and the beach was calling.



Riddled as we are with wrinkles, age spots, and the occasional trip to the dermatologist to have a patch or two of skin cancer sizzled away, late afternoon works best for us.



We reached the beach about 5:00, and with deli sandwiches and a little judiciously doctored tonic water, nirvana about 5:10.







For breakfast today we traveled to one of our favorite spots, Fort Hill in Eastham. Part of the national park system, it has walking trails through wildflowers, along with lookout points to enjoy the view.



 



First, we read the paper, had a muffin or two, and after fighting off the green-head flies who decided to share our breakfast, we were off for a stroll.

  8. Sunset on the beach is the perfect time of day in my opinion.
    Love those lacy white flowers along the roadside.
    $3.50 per shrimp? That's outrageous.
