TODAY'S New York Times tells us that Martha's Vineyard is like a miniature Ireland -- roads wind among sheep, horses and cattle grazing in bright green pastures, and many of the farms welcome visitors. Sounds more like the Aran Islands to us, except we don't get the Kennedys, the Clintons and now Barack Obama coming on holidays.
Actually we get the better deal, who wants their holiday ruined by motorcades and men with wires hanging out of the their ears.....
I moved to Galway 2 years ago from 10 + years on Martha's Vineyard. Let me say there is little comparison beyond stone walls and sheep. Sadly, The Vineyard has become a bit like a plantation- those that have and those who work for those who have.
