Thursday July 5, 2007

Sunny but windy and a free day looking at us. With nothing scheduled for the day, the caravaners did their own thing. Several went up to Clace Bay to the Miner's Museum and said it was excellent. A good display and a short tour through an actuall coal mine. Apparently it was had to move around in the mine, they had to bend over and walk through small passages. But even then, it was worth the effort. Others went into Sydney and did some shopping.
With the threat of rain in the air, several thumbed their noses at the oncoming storm and spiffied up their rigs. (Garunteed to raid with that attitude). Some of just hung out and caught our breaths. The Rayners went bike riding and wound up at fisherman's wharf where they were treated to crab and lobster feed. They really enjoyed the food but didn't bring any back for the rest of us.
Happy hour prior to our lobster dinner at a local resturant. Good food, for those that like lobster, there were 2 lobsters on each plate. Chuck Pond connived his way into a four lobster plate and darned if he didn't eat every bit of it.
Later that night we had reservations to the Louisbourg Playhouse where we enjoyed the "Laughter and Lyrics" performance. This was put on by some very talented local muscians. Songs, stepdancing, and comedy for several hours. Good time was had by all. Traveling tomorrow.
