First stop on Martha’s Vineyard?
Edgartown.
A beautiful place to visit…
A nerve wracking place to drive.
The streets are narrow and many of them one way.
Which is charming…. until a delivery truck blocks your only egress.
But let’s get back to beautiful.
Park your car and walk…
Because that’s the only way you’ll discover all the wonderful nooks and crannies in town.
Since we were there in November, off season…
We practically had it all to ourselves.
Full of old world charm…
And coastal breezes…
I highly recommend an extended stroll.
And the required clothing souvenir from the Black Dog.
(Okay, I bought 3… so sue me.)
I could have easily walked and shopped all day but the husband will only tolerate so much of that.
So we headed out.
And drove past mile ….
After mile….
After mile…
Of stone walls.
Seriously, I thought they would never end.
Some houses had them in the front, to the sides and around the back.
Some sections of the road had them lining both sides.
And speaking as someone from Maine, which has it’s own fair share of stone walls…
I must say, this section of the Vineyard put us Mainers to shame.
Finally! ***HOORAY!!***
Stone Walls – –
Just how long I have waited!!!!

Your husband is a saint. After that much sightseeing, I’d be stress-crying in my crib for three hours…

My husband has a wandering soul. Never stays still. If I let him, we’d be traveling 24/7.
I’m the saint!!!

Now you’re rockin’, RG. Love the stone walls pix.
By the way, January 7 is OLD ROCKS DAY. I’m giving you advance notice so you’ll have plenty of time to roll out a rock post that will knock our rocks — I mean, socks — off. Rock on!

Rocks in walls, finally! You know, you’ve got us hooked on rocks, so really it’s your fault, lol.
How beautiful Martha’s Vineyard is, but those roads….yikes.

While I’m thrilled my readers share my love of rocks…. I fear I have created monsters. Even I may not be able to keep up with the demand.

The rock walls are fantastic! Whenever I am out on a hike and I come across an old rock wall in the forest it always makes me wonder what it was surrounding. I love it.

New England fields and forests are full of stones. When farmers cleared them for pasture the stones had to go somewhere….

… well … ok … more impressive than the Plimoth rock, but still can’t compete with Sedona for rocks …

What a cute little town! And rock walls will probably have a longer life than wood or metal and looks interesting

It was lovely, very quaint… and quintessentially New England.

“Park your car and walk…” that’s one of the reasons I gave up traveling–because of PAD after 2 blocks I am done (and have to eat!!!!)

Thankfully we’re not there yet. If we couldn’t walk? Our vacations wouldn’t be nearly as fun!
