Whistle-stop tours of large places – there’s nothing like them, eh? Having returned a few days ago from a wonderful, extremely busy 3 week trip to America, everything I saw and did is just beginning to sink in. My holiday in the United States included a week in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and as the kind cottage owner had provided free ferry tickets, we decided to sail out to Martha’s Vineyard and poke around there for a day. ~~ So Where Exactly Is Martha's Vineyard?~~ As I’ve said, we made the trip whilst staying in Cape Cod, a small arm-shaped piece of land belonging to the northern state of Massachusetts and projecting into the Atlantic Ocean. ...
