We rode into the business district of
St Andrews this morning. We walked the three block long commercial
district stepping occasionally into a gift store or art gallery. Lots
of interesting things, but we don't need or have room for more stuff,
neither in the motorhome or the condo. I did buy a t shirt, mine have
a bad habit of getting stained, can't imagine how but the stains
always appear after eating.
Clay and I on the husbands bench |
I only saw one bank on the main street
and when we went inside to exchange money there were several others
from our group in line. I haven't waited in a bank line in years, 99%
of my banking is online or ATM.
We had lunch at a harbor front
restaurant called The Harbour Front Restaurant. Millie and I had fish
and chips, we both liked it. Check was $28 Canadian, that would be
about $20 American.
Millie browsing |
Millie bought a couple post cards,
stamps and a bag of candy. We all remembered eating the pink hard
candy years ago, but couldn't remember what they were called. Riding
down the road all four of us let the pink candy disks melt in our
mouths as we tried to recall the name. Rebecca remembered the name
and we all immediately agreed. They were called Canada mints and had
the word Canada embossed in each candy.
causeway to Ministers Island |
We rode out to the causeway to
Minister's Island but the tide was rising and parts of the roadway
were already under water. Minister Island's claim to fame is the road
is only passable at low tide. We rode to the old cemetery we saw the
other day on the tour but couldn't gain entry. I'm sure there would
have been some interesting epitaphs on headstones there.
Maggie in her pool |
Afternoon was leisure time, I sat
outside and let Maggie play in her pool, Millie read some of a Janet
Evanovich novel. After dinner (meal eaten in MH) Millie cut my hair.
