What a great morning for a walk. Decided to go to Woods Hole which is a 3.5 mile walk from the Inn. Although it was a bit overcast it did not seem to bother the ospreys and other critters out an about. One of the great things about a walk down to Woods Hole is that once you get there you can turn around and walk on back (after a treat at Pie in the Sky) or you can decide 3.5 miles was enough and hop on the Steamship Authority shuttle bus and hop a ride back to the parking lot just a short half mile stroll from the Inn. Guess what we did
The expansion of The Captain’s Manor Inn really seems to be coming to life now. The foundation is complete with the pouring of the ground level floor. The framing is well underway with the ground level and first level exterior walls complete. Hope you enjoy the pictures below
Date night out! We headed down to Woods Hole for the 20th anniversary of the Woods Hole Film Festival and stopped off at Shuckers for a meal of Sea Food Chowda, Crab Cakes, etc. Started off eating on the barge but seeing as I get seasick (apparently with even the slightest motion) Kevin suggested we head into the stationary porch overlooking the barge. (Smart move ) After dinner we headed over to Jimmy’s for some great frozen yogurt – black raspberry with chocolate chips. Then on to see the Woods Hole Film Festival Short Film collage which included:
What fun to go and see the short film that Don Marcus shot just over a year ago in Falmouth. The scenery is gorgeous, the music is beautiful and actors Robert Vaughn and Melissa Errico did a magnificent job leaving all of us in the audience wanting more of the story!!
