This morning I took the opportunity to go to daily Mass again - a luxury I hadn't anticipated but took advantage of :) We decided not to tour Martha's Vineyard at all and instead to really tour the rest of the Cape. 
We saw the Oceanographic Institute and Aquarium at Woods Hole. Their work is fascinating. Dr. Ballard led the expedition from there that discovered the Titanic and laid the marker on the stern of the ship that honors those who were lost that day.
Lunch was in Woods Hole at Captain Kidd's. I had a lobster roll and iced tea. I can't get over how wonderful all the food is here. Not one single disappointing meal. This is a shot of the restaurant from across the street then views of the Woods Hole Marina from our table. That is a real gull who let me get very close. I was surprised at that.
We shopped and I got this picture of a compass marker embedded in the sidewalk. Got some postcards too :)
We stopped at the Nobska Light at Woods Hole and took pictures then did some shopping in Falmouth as well.
There is also a winery in Falmouth "The Cape Cod Winery". I bought two bottles of wine there. One I gave to Becca and Nick when I picked up the cat yesterday. The other one I plan on giving to Rita and David.
Dinner this day was at "The Skipper" in South Yarmouth. I ordered steamers. This was something new for me. They are soft shell clams served in a bowl by the dozen. I had one and a half dozen steamers for supper. :) You have to peel off the covering off of the foot and holding onto the foot you swish the de-shelled clam in hot water to wash away the sand. Then you drop them into the drawn butter and when that container is full you eat them with crusty bread. Delicious!
It was a lovely day all together. A nice blend of science, touring and good food!!
