Murray Harbour, Prince Edward Island
Based on Barry’s recommendation to visit Brehaut’s Restaurant for milkshakes, we recently drove to the neighbouring community of Murray Harbour to do just that..visit Brehaut’s for milkshakes and ice cream.
The milkshakes and ice cream were divine, and we enjoyed them outside at the Murray Harbour wharf.
The sun was setting and it was a perfect summer evening to explore a new place–ice cream in hand.
Prince Edward Island is pretty small. You can easily drive from tip-to-tip (and back again if you really wanted to) in one day. What does that mean? It means that on a weekend day-trip you can go anywhere. It is a lofty goal of mine to eventually visit all of the communities in Prince Edward Island.
We haven’t made much time for exploring; as you know, I don’t get out much. But every so often we make a trip to visit a community that’s new to us.
I especially love grabbing a snack or having dinner at small cafes and restaurants. Generally, in smaller places I feel like where I spend my dollars counts. I am rather thrifty, but if I really must spend money I’d sure rather it go to a little place like Brehaut’s in a fishing village like Murray Harbour, population 256.
I wonder where we’ll go next. Have you been anywhere new lately?
Wow take me…we can start an icecream adventure around Prince Edward Island! Maybe I will bike or run from place to place so I can still fit in a bathing suit by the time August rolls around.
Happy Canada Day!! Enjoy your day wherever or whatever you do!!
Wow - these story line plus its accompanying illustrations are great “food for thought.” sort of surrealistic. I checked for the “icecream in hand” in the first and third photos, and for the Murray Harbour Wharf beside the second photo! No problem whatsoever that they aren’t there I intuit that you didn’t know your story line until you got back home! But this juxtaposition makes for a great read!!!
lots of love, mom!
Awww….shucks… on my recommendation?…I’m flattered. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi L-J
Great work!!! Got a charge out of the weaving in your post….well done!
“visit Brehaut’s for milkshakes and ice cream” is a wonderful tag phrase. Typing it into google found some of your sites as well as this one that I particularly like.

I loved the photos especially the one you have chosen for your Facebook profile.
I went exploring after our talk on the 17th and was very impressed by what I found.
(the videos are totally pro. Was that with the Flip?)
BTW thanks for the tea it was just the way I like it. lol
Kudos to Barry for his recommendation.
Keep doing L J, your work is awesome!…
Smiles :o)

You must drive across the Confedertion Bridge and visit the Bouctouche Dunes (for a nice stroll) and then go to Olivier Soaperie so you can treat yourself to some exquisite handmade soap. That’s what you should do ….
