This past weekend we were cat sitting Diva and Maestro, my daughter’s and son-in-law’s Tonkinese cats.

We got to stay in their beautiful PEI home in Rustico and enjoy a mini-vacation. We walked on the North Rustico boardwalk, sat reading while enjoying our tea in their sun room, and ate out a lot. Yum. We ate well.
I’d recommend all three of these restaurants.
Friday’s dinner was at The Mill in New Glasgow

Richard highly recommends the Belle River Crab Cakes and the Lamb and Feta Meatballs.
Saturday’s dinner was at PEI Preserve Company in New Glasgow

The nachos were delicious as were our desserts: Bailey’s Chocolate Cheesecake (mine) and Vanilla Ice Cream Crepes (Richard’s).
Sunday’s breakfast was at By the Bay Family Restaurant in North Rustico

Traditional PEI eatery with homestyle breakfasts. Ours were delicious and filling.
A short distance from where we were staying is a beach!
Barachois Beach
Cute little yellow metal stairs.
This is probably the longest walk to a beach that we’ve had so far this summer.
It was made even longer due to the fact that we had to walk/run through Mosquito City. And we weren’t the only ones. Everyone heading to and from the beach was running or power walking, as well as complaining about those dreaded insects. I have never had sooooo many mosquitoes on my legs at one time. Yuck. I was not impressed. I won’t be going back here any time soon.
The beach itself was outstanding. And thank goodness no mosquitoes there. We enjoyed a leisurely 4K walk.
It’s interesting that there are all kinds of signs regarding piping plovers and that all dogs must be on a leash.
Sadly people do not obey.
Here:
• Dirt road
• Side of road dirt parking
• Metal stairs to the beach
• Looooong walk to beach through mosquito city
• Beautiful long white beach
