Shediac!

Arrived Friday afternoon and greeted with hugs from dad's cousin Camille & Maria, Cam's daughter Rita, and son in-law Dan. At dad's request, Rita had made reservations for 12 at "Fred's Restaurant & Lounge". He had been dreaming about Freddy's fried clams since we planned this adventure last Spring.

 Beginning lower left and going clockwise: dad's cousin Rita, dad, mom, cousin Dan, Rita's husband Dan, Kit's excellent half Dan, (a Dan trio!), Camille's daughter Rita, cousin Dan's wife Diane, Camille's friend Maria, Camille, and cousin Jenie.

Excellent meal of clams, shrimp, scallops, cod, fries, cole slaw, and my favorite - sweet potato fries. 

Late sleep followed by tour of Shediac beginning with Rita's cottage at Cap Pele, just 15 minutes away and right on the Northumberland Strait. Nearby bridge to P.E.I. is 8 miles long.

Tour ended at town entrance to  lobster capitol of the world.
