Day 7

We explored Martha's Vineyard today. We rode the bus all around the island. We started in Vineyard Haven where we are anchored and went to Edgartown, on the eastern side of the island. We walked around town, and then we took the bus to Aquinnah and the Gay Head cliffs. There is a lighthouse there and we climbed to the top. We even got to go in the light room. The light was on and it was hot and we could see out of all the windows. One level down we could go on the balcony and it was really windy out there. From the top of the lighthouse we could see Cuttyhunk and even the Newport Bridge!

We learned that the Wampanoag people have been living on the eastern side of Martha's Vineyard for at least 10, 000 years. They call the island Noepe.
