Rocco and I spent a lovely day Thursday (his day off) and took the ferry to Block Island. I bought some BI oval car stickers (subtle, huh). the trip was intended to be an adventure, and we were both excited to get outta town, but my tummy was growling after a huge lunch. So, neither of us felt particularly adventurous and stayed around the main part of town near the ferry. Block Island was lovely though – the houses are much more interesting than the uniform slate grey of Nantucket, IMHO – and we'd love to go back for a whole weekend.
