MARTHA'S VINEYARD
This pictures were taken during the weekend of Sept 28, 1997 in Cape Cod, Massahusetts. It took us like 4 to 5 hours drive from New Jersey, but the place is really worth the trip. We spent our night in Eastham, MA, which is almost  on the tip of the Cod.

SEPTEMBER 28-30, 1997

The following morning, we took the ferry ride, which lasted around 20- 30 minutes from mainland. The sea was so calm and quiet so we arrived safely in Martha's Vineyard. We spent the rest of the day there in the island, that we've only seen in our dreams. You could actaully feel the serenity and calmness of the place with its sorrounding   white beaches and beautiful people

..When we arrived at Martha's Vineyard port, the first place we looked for was a CR, coz during our trip, we were so kalibangon as in really kalibangon .   Below was how we looked like aboard the USS Martha (I'm not really sure if that ship was commissioned by that name) but by the power vested in me, I'll call it as such, aprubado without thinking, Commodore!

It was almost lunch time, and we're bulates and bitoks inside our guts are shouting like crazy . It so happened that we pass-by the world famous row of houses they called "Gingerbread House".  We could no longer control our kagutom so finally we decided to take a bite.

Unfortunately, the houses were not really made of gingerbreads as we thought.  They were dubbed as such because of the details of their designs and the way their ornaments and fixtures were done like those of gingerbreads decorations.

We strolled down the Edgartown area and bought some collectible items and souvenirs from not so expensive shops in the downtown area.  Roaming around the island was so easy with that yellow bus for 3 bucks.  We found out later that there were also rental bikes and mopeds, which we highly recommend to all those who plan to tour the island in the future.   I guess you could also take your car with you, if you have kids, but this needs an advance reservation from the ferry boat.

You could stay in the island coz there' s a lot of inns and hotels around, but we would not recommend it because the prices are too high.  Or if you would like to go on island hopping, you can take the ferry boat in going to the nearby Nantucket Island. We never went there, probably the hotel accomodations are cheaper.

Martha's Vineyard is really a great vacation place.  You can do anything you want like biking, hiking, whale-watching,shopping and anything you can think of.  The seafoods are great, too especially the lobsters.  The only thing I didn't see there were grape vineyards and wineries and until now the I really have no idea where the hell the place got its name.  Ambot sa langaw , pilay edad sa ok-ok
