As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, I want to share a few details of the second part of our Steelers Road Trip to New England, which was a four night stay in the Cape Cod Village of Falmouth. During those four days, we got to explore a delightful little New England town, got in some beach time, took a ferry boat ride to Martha's Vineyard and explored the towns of Oak Bluffs and Edgartown (where "Jaws" was filmed) on that Island. Alas, while on Martha's Vineyard we did not see Carly Simon, the Obamas, or a single member of the Kennedy Family, but, hey, you can't have everything.
It was a delightful four day stay, and we very much enjoyed seeing this part of the country.
Allow me to share some photos.
Our Inn while in Falmouth
No elevator and we were on the second floor 😒

We had no trouble finding room to sit on the beach.

Great little bar on Martha's Vineyard
Did I mention that "Jaws" was filmed on Martha's Vineyard?
It rained the day we went to Martha's Vineyard. When we stopped at bar for lunch and saw that they specialized in frozen drinks, I told the waitress that I'd have a pina colada because "I'd been caught in the rain". I thought that she would have been too young to get the joke, but she "got it"! Maybe she's heard it before. Or maybe she just wanted a nice tip. (Perhaps you have already noticed that the headline of this post comes from the same Rupert Holmes song.)
2025 marked the 50th Anniversary of the release of the movie "Jaws", an event that was noted all over the island.
"Amity, as you know, means friendship."

On the trip home we encountered a beautiful sky
with the sun setting and a fingernail moon visible.
