May 1-2, 2010: My friend made me swear not to tell everyone about this wonderfully relaxing getaway near Boston. No restaurants. No bars. No shopping. The only things to do were walk, talk, beachcomb, read, cook and sleep. Not even a TV! A great place for a low-key family vacation or friends' weekend.
The rabbit population was fairly fearless. Daffodils dotted the island. And we listened to the sounds of nature thanks to one of the New Age stations on Pandora via my iPhone.
As it was off-season, the only market on the island was open for precisely one hour -- from 3:30pm to 4:30pm -- on Saturday. There was no fresh fish or meat to be had. So Saturday night dinner consisted of a yummy cheese omelet over wilted spinach, sweet potatoes and black beans and rice. And a nice bottle of Tavel rose which I'd had the foresight to bring over.
What a relaxing weekend! I needed the R&R. Just what the doctor ordered. Oh, ask nicely and I'll tell you where it is :-)
