After a beautiful, healthy and delicious breakfast and fresh baked muffins for the road from Bev & Gordon, we rode today from Sydney to St. Peter's on secondary highway (narrow, broken shoulders; steeper ups and downs; nice rest stops, including the Rita MacNeil Teahouse and Me & the Mrs cafe; residential property with big, barky, charging dogs not on leash that happily did not leave their property line; kids and moms waving as we went by), 9:00 AM - 5:15 PM.  Late morning we had coffee at The Lakes Golf Club in Ben Eoin; met Ann, who gave us her phone number in case we needed to call; and talked to a fellow, who had seen us leaving Sydney that morning. After checking in at the MacDonald Inn to a gorgeous suite upstairs, we went to MacBouce for dinner (best scallop dinner so far!). As Y had "first dibs", while B was getting ready for dinner, Y walked down to the Marina to hear some music - the main singer coincidentally sat at the table next to us at dinner time! By the end of the evening the dining room had been transformed to a "Silver Threads" type event, as the local elders met for their bi-weekly games night - so nice to see them all out together - speaking Gaelic!
