Prince Edward Island - More Seafood

We started the day by being treated to a "how-to" on grilling seafood. It took place in Cavendish Grove. Two young ladies showed us how to grill oysters, mussels, rainbow trout and haddock. And of course there were free samples. Yummy. While in Cavendish we visited the house which was the setting for the Anne of Green Gables novels. Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author, is buried nearby. She wrote some 21 novels about Anne and others in the early 1900's. Today, here novels live on providing a nice economic boost to the area. You can everything from a Anne of Greene Gables diary to a little hat with red pigtails.
Thanks to Mary's planning, we drove out to Malpeque, the oyster center of PEI. Jim had a full dozen of Malpeques at the Oyster Barn, a rustic place on the second floor above a fish market. He is still savoring the taste. Malpegue is in an outlying area over a couple of dirt roads. It was well worth the trip. After that, we drove to Summerside, a touristy area where we got our gift shop fix. We finished the evening watching the Simpsons in Chartlottetown. The movie had its moments but we were disappointed. The animation was excellent. It rained during the night. Wind warnings in effect for 8/9.
