Sunday,
June 5th.
Shayna
and I were awoken early as we could hear people in the next room and the
hallway. We got up, checked out and began our drive to Cavendish on the
northwest shore. We stopped at a Tim’s for coffee and breakfast, a Sobey’s for lunch
stuff and a Shoppers. Then we went looking for Green Gables. It took a bit, but
we found it eventually. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to check out this ‘tourist’
site, but it was well worth it and a loving testament to a great writer and a
wonderful character. We explored the museum, the old home (that actually
belonged to Lucy Maud Montgomery’s relatives) and the barn. Then we drove on
the coastal road from Cavendish to North Rustico. There were several beautiful
view points of the shore and the Gulf of St Lawrence where you could see
colonies of sea birds and rock formations created by the erosive effects of
waves and tides. It was supposed to rain all day, but we lucked out.Then we
drove to our B’n’B that I booked yesterday. We met the hostess Nicole, who
showed us around this beautiful 15-bedroom building. She lives in the older
part of the house with her husband James and their 5 children, and they rent
the other 8 rooms out. We settled in and typed some emails before taking James
up on his recommendation to go to the Blue Mussel Café for dinner. It was a
great spot, and we had an amazing meal. Shayna had tuna tartar and scallops,
and I had seafood chowder and halibut. Really excellent. Our hosts Nicole and James
were there too. While we were there the rains came down and we drove back in
it. We updated our journals, the blog, Wordled and turned in.
