I love Santa Fe, but it's a distant second.

and it just hits you how great a place it is. I love Nola and Santa Fe.

else even remotely like New Orleans and the way of life. The people
are so laid back and seem to know exactly what is important in
life. Think it comes with seeing 1200 people get swept out to sea.

I feel greatly privileged to have spent so many years there. New Orleans is best when you get to immerse yourself in it.

Hope you get back there very soon.

Perfect, unspoiled beaches and you have to take a little ferry across from Edgartown to get there. You can park and ride car less or drive on but there is a 3 car limit. It's a fast trip of just a few minutes. One paved road, the rest are dirt and have no lights. My daughter and family have a house there. It is delightful in the late spring, summer and early fall. Winter is very dark but gets very little snow.

been to Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket nor Chappaquidick.. On bucket list for sure. Have you ever been to Block Island. Went there last summer after years and it's exactly the same.

Chappy is nicest when lots of family come. We go over to Edgartown to shop and eat. I love E'town because it has preserved its 1812 period style

where Jane Pauley lives. Have you been there?

It's actually a little bench on either side of the ferry. My granddaughters have ridden with her on a few occasions.

Jeff Fager, bigwig at NBC, has a place on Chappy. His wife, Melinda, wrote a cookbook called "Living Off the Sea", all about how Jeff catches fish and she tends garden and they live on that every summer. It's interesting how these 1 percenters perceive themselves. Could you get more pretentious than that? Who does she think she is fooling?
