Remember, Chris: generally, I eat because I have to, and going out of my way to find something that may not be all that good when I’m hungry doesn’t appeal. I haven’t found the seafood anywhere here to be inexpensive: $25 for a platter with some scallops and haddock is typical. It is pretty good, but not cheap.

If we were in Digby for a day, we would have likely found a place to eat, but we were there for 30 minutes: like most of this trip, we are racing from one “appointment” to the next (Irene has several friends here). Hopefully at some later time in my life I’ll be able to come back here and actually have time to enjoy what it is that I’m seeing a bit more. Most of what I’m doing is driving: over 1500 km since we arrived in Halifax. If you remember the roads here, you know that is a lot longer than it sounds.

We had a nice walk in Charlottetown last night, probably the first time since the Bluenose tour that we’ve actually just wandered and explored a bit. Today is raining and we are on our way back from PEI to Baddeck in Cape Breton. Then to Halifax, then some more friends of Irene’s, then home.
