Yesterday was another day spent by the seaside. We headed over to OOB for some sun and fun. First off was Pirate's Cove mini-golf. Julian donned the t-shirt I got him from there last year, when he was still living in Germany and we had no idea he would be soon living a couple of hours from here.
Golfing pirates arrggg
Next we strolled along the pier and couldn't resist getting some pier fries in all their greasy glory.
They are hand-cut, and must be accompanied by lots of vinegar, salt, and ketchup.
Julian also got some cotton candy, and I tried funnel cake for the first time. So, I think we managed to cover all the food groups in the end.
This oceanside town is a hot vacation destination for French Canadians, especially, so there is lots of bilingual signage, arcades, tattoo parlors, fast-food and ice cream counters, bars, and a plethora of cheesy stores.
In high school, once in a while after work we'd drive the couple miles from Salty Bay Seafood Take-Out (my place of employment) to here for some jumbo pizza slices and pier fries, watching the cars and motorcycles cruise the strip and marveling at the incredibly short cut-off jean shorts the Qubecoise men would sport. I'm pleased to report that there wasn't a single pair of cut-offs in sight yesterday.
We did see this nice sexist sign, though, at the amusement park.
