Prince Edward Island (at last)

Oyster Heaven

0 °F

In the morning, Jim switched his watch to his right wrist so he could tan on the white band on his left. But, this is not about Jim, or is it? After arriving in Charlottetown, PEI, Mary took Jim to the Claddagh Oyster House on Sidney Street and treated him to a half-dozen Colville Bay Oysters. Thanks Mary! They were terrific. Maybe, we will go back tonight. Before leaving Baddeck, we visited the Alexander Graham Bell museum there. What an interesting person. Besides his many inventions and tinkerings, he devoted his life to helping the deaf communicate. He married one of his deaf students, 10 years his junior. We could not visit his house which was on an island in the bay, now occupied by his descendants - probably awash in dividends from AT&T and variious Ma Bell stocks.
To get to PEI, we drove from Baddeck to Caribou and than took the one-hour ferry to PEI. Next, we will explore PEI, maybe to the East. Then, we will have some more oysters!
