Today was a beautiful day. Warm, sunny with a nice breeze. One of the best days yet. In the morning we drove to Rustico, a primarily Acadian community, and visited St. Augustine's Church. It's the oldest Catholic church in P.E.I. The first church was a log building constructed in 1792. a replacement was built in 1807 and the present church was completed in 1838. The first service was the Midnight Mass of December, 1838.
Later in the morning we drove to the community of North Rustico. There was a boardwalk that ran along the harbour. Took a nice walk, watching the lobster boats coming & going, watched lobster pots being made. Bought three pounds of fresh mussels for dinner tonight; $5.00. Cooked lobster is only $8/pound. One of these nights we're going to buy two big lobsters for dinner.
We had lunch about 2 pm at the "World Famous Fisherman's Wharf Lobster Suppers" restaurant. Carol had a lobster salad; I had scallops and we both had unlimited seafood chowder, steamed mussels, salads, fresh fruit & great desserts. A diet is in line for both of us when we get home.
This is a very pretty part of the Island. Mostly rolling hills, potato farms and some cattle.
Got back to the New Glasgow Highlands Campground about 5 pm.
A very nice day.
