After our morning walk, we went back to the condo, got the car and ran around town a little. Peter has been looking for a particular type of hat called a Tilley. We found exactly what he was looking for in a little shopping area that was new to both of us. After we purchased the hat, we went to a cheese shop, a fresh seafood shop, and a wine shop. Of course we purchased a little something at each shop. The wine shop was particularly interesting because they were many different samples of all kinds of beverages all around the store. I tasted a blueberry wine that is made in far eastern Canada. It reminded me of medicine, Dimetap to be exact, that I used to give Karla and Christopher when they were little. Needless to say, that one we did not buy. Why would you use perfectly good blueberries to make wine instead of grapes? The cheese shop had about 400 different kinds of cheeses from all over the world and we picked out a couple that we have not had before. At the seafood shop we picked up some sausages and some maple smoked salmon.
When we got back to the condo after running our errands, we decided to go back to the island to see what we could find. By this time it was about 5:00 and things were winding down. We walked around a little and sat by the river watching people and the ducks and geese. That is when we took these two pictures. It had warmed up a little and we enjoyed just sitting and watching.
