We are all big seafood fans and they had their first lobster there. We even went to that Alexander Graham Bell museum! I think my favorite thing we did while we were there (other than eat) was go to a ceilidh.

I am amazed they aren't too familiar with vegetarians. But then, it sounds quite an out of the way place, perhaps they still prefer their traditional foods there.
