Chris left early this morning to spend the night at his cottage with his sister, who'd been there all week. Karen and Anneke went for a walk, and arrived back in the early stages of heat exhaustion!
In the early afternoon, Karen and I and Anneke headed into town and explored the waterfront. What an amazing place. Just oozing atmosphere. All kinds of restaurants, most offering a wealth of seafood options. We strolled over to Pier 21, where Scotia Bank has a facility to help people dig up their immigrants' roots. We found info on the Groote Beer, the ship we came to Canada on in June, 1954. We were on the June 3rd sailing, stopping in Rotterdam, The Hague, Southhampton and then over to Halifax, Quebec City and Montreal. They even printed up the material for us.
We had dinner at Salty's, which is a great seafood place right on the waterfront. I had the fried clams, which arrived limp and cold. Sent that back for a fresh order, which was done the way it should be. Very yummy!
