A sunny morning on Nantucket Island

It was a beautiful sunny morning on Nantucket.
Here's a picture of the sunrise on Brian and Christy's street. Like the house in this picture, many of the homes have a "widow's peak" on the roof, where the woman of the house could climb up to watch for the sailors returning (and sometimes not returning) from the sea...

Later, Michael took me for a tour of the island. We went to the "Take It Or Leave It" site, which is where the Islanders drop off their unwanted but still usable items and anyone else can take them. I found a book (of course) and Michael discovered a set of interesting wooden folding chairs. Very cool. I have a feeling we'll be visiting this place a lot.

Then we parked downtown and strolled around the beautiful streets. He pointed out the original 3 red brick buildings built sometime in the 1800s. And we ended up again at the Rose & Crown bar/restaurant, where Michael used to wait tables and where I met Debba - one of Michael's good friends from days past.
