The sun sets on Friday

One of the nice things about our location is that the sun sets over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The video doesn't do it justice. It never gets old watching the sunset here. The sun disappears quite rapidly, and it is almost always spectacular with the sunlight refracting below the horizon and reflecting on the water. In this video you hear Ian and I discussing Sir Paul McCartney's performance at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. I am of the opinion that some aging musicians from the sixties should follow the lead of The Rolling Stones and simply release a Coffee Table book to commemorate occasions.

Back to the vacation... Today was another excellent beach day. Kate and Angie went to the Gouda Ladies to buy cheese and to The Goat Soap Factory, (it is actually a house, that sells goat soap... They raise goats), and then into Summerside to pick up groceries. Isabella, Amelia and Ian popped into Kensington to get ice cream at The Frosty Treat.

Yesterday we were to Golf at Glasgow Hills, one of the most picturesque golf courses on the island. Despite having Tee Times booked months in advance, we discovered that the entire day was booked for tournament play. The pro shop staff quickly made arrangements to get our groups out on Eagles Glenn Golf Course which is just ten minutes away. We will return to play Glasgow Hills next Thursday.

My golf experience at Eagles Glen was good. I shot 52 on the front and 44 on the back. I was really pleased with my game. The weather was perfect for golf with the temperature around 20C when play began and 30C when we finished. We got back to the beach around 3 pm.

For supper, it was a rare meal out. We went to a small restaurant in Darnley called Ship to Shore. Obviously the menu featured lots of seafood, mussels,  oysters, crab, clam and fish... Really good microbrewery beer as well.
