Albert's Kitchen, Bumpy Roads & Murphy's Cove

A sunrise walk in Seabreeze campground started our day. Then we went in search of the $6.50 lb. live lobsters for sale in town. It was there we met 80 year old Albert Fanning of Little Dover, NS. He lived next door to the lobster vendor and offered to help us out even though they weren't open. Not only did he fetch the lobsters from their cage at the dock but took us to his kitchen, cooked the lobsters and showed us his way to get every bit of sweet meat from the shell. Amazing! He gave us an hour of his time, shared his life story and once again impressed us with the gracious hospitality of the maritime islanders.

















Thank you Albert for your kindness to welcome us, teach us and cook for us as if we'd been friends for years.

The bumpy road part of our day went on for 4 hours including thousands of pot holes and an unexpected ferry ride due to the road's sudden end. Sorry, no pic of the rough road but we can say it greatly rattled us and the rv. By God's grace we made it to Murphy's Cove in one piece and were blessed to spend the evening in such a peaceful place.






 Time to make our own lobster rolls. The best so far!!!
