Sharon (the weather lady) was wrong for a change, last night she said rain for today and we woke up to sunshine and it was sunny all morning, clouded over in the early afternoon but there was no rain.

We were going to go to Fogo Island today but when we got to the ferry it had gone and it was 3 hours until the next one so we reversed our plans and on the way back drove in and out of all the little harbours. They are so pretty with the houses clustered around the inlet but I can’t imagine spending a winter in such isolation. Pretty well every house had enormous woodpiles, all ready for winter.

We stopped at a lobster pound and got a lobster sandwich which was very good but the live lobsters cost as much as at Zehrs or Sobey’s at home.
