On Wednesday, we had another great breakfast at the B&B (we love the communal table where everybody chats in the morning). It was raining so we hopped in the car and and drove out to Blue Rocks, Stonehurst South and Mahone Bay. We had lunch at Rebecca's in Mahone Bay and it was delicious - scallop and beet salad (guess who had that - "salad" should give you a clue) and a scallop burger (guess who had that - "burger" should give you clue). We ventured back to the B&B and rested and did a little reading. We walked to town and had a little bite (I mean little) at the Bay Leaf Eatery. We were not that hungry and ordered the lobster dip ($18) - it was the size of a small poached egg. Oh well, can't win them all. We then went to a Kitchen Party at the United Church ($5 donation) and listened to some locals as well as Steve Keith from New Orleans. We wandered home in the dark through the cemetery.
On Thursday, we had yet another great breakfast and then checked out of Ashlea House (they only had a room for us for 3 nights). We went to the Farmer's Market, drove around town, went to the Fisheries Museum (it was great) and had a quick lunch at The Old Fish Factory - Jan had a sampler of 3 glasses of wine and I had a sampler of 6 kinds of beer and we had some lobster filled mushroom caps, some lobster dip and some scallops. We then checked in to our new B&B - Pelham House - owned by David and Michael. Charming B&B. We went to Glimpses - a musical with vignettes about the town's history - it was entertaining but a bit cheesy. We had a light dinner at the Grand Banker - lobster roll and fish cakes. Again, delicious. I have been quite successful at my goal of having lobster almost every day. We walked back on deserted streets.
On Friday, Michael made a fruit salad, waffles and bacon - all delicious. Had a great chat with some people from Nelson, North Bay and Virginia. We planned a lazy day and Jan suggested that I go for a massage as my back has been sore. I called and they were able to get me in right away. I had a great massage and learned many things on many topics from my massage therapist including, belly dancing, flamenco dancing, living in Spain, teaching, the Americans in Acapulco, why she should be Prime Minister, numerous muscles, being robbed while in Spain, Cirque du Soleil, Belgium, Budapest, the bad angry energy of Prague, almost moving to Turkey until you know who took over (I don't know who that was but agreed anyway). I then met Jan for lunch at The Fish Shack where we had fish and chips. We went for a coffee and then back to our room for a rest and to pack - after 3 weeks, it is amazing how your suitcase just explodes into the car. Dinner at Magnolia's Grill - Jan had fishcakes and I had a lobster linguini - probably the best meal on our trip - the lobster linguini was recommended on You Gotta Eat Here. Back to our room for our last night's sleep. Going home tomorrow - we drive to Moncton (about 4 hours) for our flight home at 6 pm arriving home around 10 pm.
