I have been to most of the country and dozens of Caribbean islands, but for me its Nantucket in August. One day i realized that Nantucket has been the one constant "home" for me over the past 30 plus years. I moved to another state in junior high, another one for college and yet another after college. The feeling of coming off the boat and smelling the mixture of steamboat pizza and the Juice bar always made me feel like i was home.
No matter how much has changed in Massachusetts or the world, you can always count on the cobblestone streets of downtown, no street lights or fast food. Most mornings can be started with a cool ocean breeze as the fogs lifts for the day.
A good morning is when you can slip into some flip flops and stroll into town for a coffee and muffin and sit on main street and watch life happen around you.
Once you have finished your coffee and tucked the latest copy of yesterdays island under your arm, its off to the grocery store by the harbor to pick up whatever is needed for the days beach eats. Most days are meant for beach time as I discussed in the previous post, but if you need time away from the sun or its cloudy, town IT IS!
Imagine turning a corner and standing at the top of main street on an island in Massachusetts 30 miles at sea and this is your view:

When you are done strolling both sides of main street, and you have bought your yearly memento at the four winds gifts, Its time to rest your flip flops at the Tavern at Harbor square, AKA, the gazebo. Its a great thatched room little bar near the harbor where everyone from all walks of life come together to enjoy the view.
One of the greatest past times whether it be during the day while getting ice cream from STARS on the wharf or after dinner at B-Ackyard BBQ, is looking at the yachts in harbor. While many are chartered for several hundred thousand a week, you can stroll and create your own life on the boat for free.
After you have spent the day wandering, shopping, eating, drinking, yacht shopping, you can enjoy the cool night air and with one you love and be grateful you can do it again tomorrow,
CHEERS!
