We explored the rock cliffs around our cottage. While it rained, we hiked along the beach, sat inside caves, discovered ice cold streams, threw rocks at targets and I stepped in crab and seaweed muck that engulfed my legs up past my knee. It was disgusting. Stacy laughed at me and I almost lost my sandals.
After getting lunch at a local restaurant, we played scrabble and learned how to play 500 Rummy with the deck of mini cards that Jess and Ryan got for us. We took the game to a local bar while we ate dinner and watched a local guy sing Gaelic folk tunes. We played our mini connect 4 (also a gift from Jess and Ryan).
Stacy beat me at Rummy and connect 4.
When I ordered my burger, they only offered mustard, we thought Ryan might appreciate that (we call him Colonel Mustard - he loves the mustard.)
We had fun with the singer Buddy Macdonald, he got the whole place singing a bunch of fun folk songs and stories. Some were confusing, but funny. One song told the story of a boy who wanted to marry a Cape Breton local girl. However, he learned that she was his father's daughter. He called the marriage off in despair. To make matters worse, he couldn't find any other wife, because his father was the father to most of the girls on the island. It was at this point that the boy's mom told him not to worry, because the boy's father wasn't really his father after all. So he got married to the girl.
It rained, but we had fun. We got home late and Stacy was beat. I had a great video of Stacy snoring, but she pulled it from the blog....oh well.
