Montaux and en route to NYC

We continued our tour of the Hamptons -  visiting nearby Easthampton. We then returned to Montauk. Later we had drinks at M's friends' home and dined that evening at Gosmans by the ocean; 


a restaurant set up by a Roscommon woman. She developed it from a small shack, buying up all the adjacent real estate until she developed the huge complex it is today. It is now run by her grandchildren. With wild oysters, clams and crab from the adjacent ocean, the meal was a real treat. 

Next day, we visited the historic manor hotel, which dominates the town.

 
It retains its 19th century characteristics.  
We visited the town"s green, where a food market was taking place. 


With the exception of the Manor Hotel- the only other high rise building constructed to house the professionals involved in designing and building Montaux 

We saw the Memory Motel, which Mick Jagger frequented and I'm advised that he wrote a song about it.


John Lennon and Yoko Ono (sp?) visited too and there is a shop name to commemorated the visit. 


Later that evening we went on a sunset cruise on the ocean, which was spectacular! 


       Awaiting the sunset onshore

We saw the setting sun but more especially,


we saw the rising moon; 


crimson in its majesty. We ate at the Dock, where many of the Montauxans were celebrating the weekend.   

Today, we are bound for NYC on the Long Island Railroad, where after a change at Jamaica station, we will arrive at Penn Station, NYC, where we will reside overnight in the nearby Radisson hotel on Broadway/ 32nd St.
