We started to explore more of the island today, and Martha's Vineyard 
is a truly gorgeous place. 
 

We slept in just a little later than usual, had our routine breakfast 
of oatmeal and bananas, then hopped on the island's bus system to the Oak Bluffs 
area. There, we ate lunch in an open park, next to a fountain, surrounded by 
Victorian-style homes and the ocean. After making a few wishes over the 
fountain, we hopped back on the bus and went to check out Eel Pond, where we 
searched the sand for shells and found a bunch of unopened Quahaugs and Oysters 
washed up on the beach.
 
We grabbed some homemade ice cream before hopping on the next bus 
back towards camp. 
When we returned to our site, we made sure to get some laundry done. 
We also  played soccer and basketball, and hung out in the recreation room, 
until it was time to cook dinner.

We ate as quick as possible to catch another bus to the Aquinnah 
Cliffs to watch the sun set over the ocean. We passed lots of green farm land 
outside the scope of the tourist attractions, and were greeted by the sight of a 
lighthouse that rested on cliffs that looked as if they had been painted. The 
glowing orange sun gradually descending into the horizon, as a single fishing 
boat continued to effortlessly graze the surface of the water.
