We had a guide while we were in Cape Cod that told us many interesting facts about the Cape. Bringing the South to Massachusetts made the trip even more interesting. Our words are different than theirs, for example fork was pronounced falk, yard was yad, corn was kan, you get the picture.
One day we went to Nantucket. A beautiful little town lined with expensive shops , fancy restaurants, and cobblestone streets. At lunch time we wanted to save time and money, so Christine and I went to the the supermarket there in town and bought some chicken wings , a pack of crackers, and a Diet Coke. We found a bench on the main drag there in Nantucket and sat down and ate our wings and watched the people.
I thought nothing about it until I remembered what our guide had told us earlier about that street. She said that cobblestone street in Nantucket was like Rodeo Drive in Hollywood, only the rich could afford to shop there and now we were there eating wings on the sidewalk! I guess our southerness really showed out that day!
I know a lot of people in the south who are proud that we saved money on lunch!
