Still reporting from New Glasgow, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada (Latitude 46,40, Longitude -63.35)
Another big day started with breakfast—today, it was tasty Eggs Benedict. Then we were off to Le Musée de la Pomme de Terre, aka The Potato Museum. PEI is a major source of tubers, especially “seed potatoes”, grown to grow other spuds.
They grow ‘em big up here.
This is the Oscar for potato growing.
We followed that up with the West Point Light House, where we were able to climb up to the top. Stairs became more like ladders as we ascended.
It’s still an active beacon, except it’s automated. The house is also an inn.
Don’t look at it, Marian!!!
More fun was found at the Glass Bottle House—actually three houses, using old glass bottles and cement for the walls, along with pretty gardens.
We ended the afternoon at the Island Honey Wine Company, where we tried out a few varieties of mead. I particularly enjoyed the Apple Cider, made with their own apples and honey.
We wound up the day at the Blue Mussel Cafe, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was a little more casual than expected, but the food was top notch.
We shared the Lobster dip
I had the Seafood Bubbly Bake
Mindy had the Stuffed Chicken (!?!?!)
Well, that’s plenty for one day. We leave PEI and our B&B HQ tomorrow—off to New Brunswick.
