rfmcdonaldDinner with Dr. MacLaine at the East Side Mario's on University Avenue was nice, although I missed him for 10 minutes--I didn't see him, but I hadn't thought of looking into the bar area for him. The food was good, and the conversation was quite enjoyable, centering mainly on the problems of university education in the 21st century. (More on this later.)
In the evening, I set up with the parents for the beach--Stanhope, actually, just a kilometre away from Dalvay-by-the-Sea. The weather was kind of cool, but the view--as always--was spectacular despite the very high price for entry--if you're a native, you need season passes. Lying on the blanket, I read A.H. Clark's Three Centuries and the Island, a historical geography of PEI that was written in the 1950s; one can only imagine what he would have thought of recent developments (30% growth in population, collapse of the farming population, and so on).
