It’s hard to believe we’ve been back from Martha’s Vineyard for less than two days. I didn’t take my camera so no photos this time other than the one below (taken on my iPhone) of a pig race at Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Fair.

We only had three full days on the Vineyard but it might as well have been a week for all the fresh air, fine food and good conversation. (Not to mention my 11-point Boggle score with ENRICHED.)

Martha’s Vineyard is a truly incredible place. It has a rural beauty that reminds me of the Westcountry, but with a New England/American feel all of its own: relaxed, friendly, fun.

Needless to say, our experience of the Vineyard is based in large part on the generosity of our hosts. But looking around at the beaches and cafes, the hotels and restaurants, the sail boats that decorate every inlet and the cyclists who slow traffic on almost every road, I can’t help but think that it must be one of the best holiday destinations in America.
