After a slow start this morning – did some laundry which we
hung out, and answered some emails, we went to St Andrews Beach, on the south
side of the peninsula. This is a well-known
surfing beach. At least 14 people were
in the water where we stopped, and by the time we left, another 10 were there
to surf over their noon break from work – they may have been taking the
afternoon off too!

On this peninsula, where ever you go you are always seeing the
ocean or one of two bays. It is beautiful! Also on this peninsula, if you are
not playing golf, you can go wine tasting.
There are lots of golf courses and lots of wineries. At 2:30 we had a light lunch at a winery
about 10 minutes from our friend’s home. –You can tell we are on vacation,
eating lunch at 2:30!!

This evening we are being hosted for dinner by a former
exchange student who attended Mt Pleasant High School in 1993-4. -
What a lovely evening we had. It
is such a delight to see exchange students years later when they are young
adults – to meet their spouses and children.
He is now an Assistant Principal and teacher for grade 7 while his wife
teaches grade 8. They are wonderful
chefs too. We had a gourmet meal of lamb
in a home they have designed and built themselves. It was so fun catching up on
his last 20 years.
