Lazy morning at camp, some admin and blogging etc. But in the afternoon we booked a game of golf at a small nine hole local course called Red Sands. What a lovely course. Rolling countryside and fantastically kept fairways and greens. The best part was that Janice played her first round since her unfortunate fall and broken wrist in January.  Santa bought her a new set of clubs for Christmas last year, so she spent some time unwrapping clubs and club heads on the way round, much to her delight. We forget to take the camera but have a couple of shots from the IPhone. It was a beautiful day. As it was a last day in PEI we stopped at Carr's seafood shack on the way home and bought some large oysters, a large lobster and 2 small fresh halibut steaks. We devoured the oysters and lobster as an appetizer then BBQ'd the halibut and cooked up some PEI new potatoes which taste as if the butter has already been added!! Once again we recognize how very fortunate we are. 
What a hilarious show... Great fun
After patting our stomachs in satisfaction, we quickly changed and headed off to the small village of Hunter River to a theatre called Harmony House, a tiny theatre in converted 1846 United Church. The show was called Island Summer Review and featured a comedian and a musician, Patrick Ledwell and Mark Haines. It was fantastic (opposite to our fears) ... how I wish I could remember even one of the jokes. The music was typical maritime style with a  bluesy note to it. We laughed and tapped our feet all evening while sipping on a PEI red ale... very civilized. Home and off to bed ready for our trip to Fundy National park tomorrow.
