Breakfast at Apostrophe
Apostrophe is the neighborhood bakery and coffee shop where we eat a scrumptious breakfast of flaky pastry, fresh squeezed juice, and thick and rich chocolate (Lane) and chai (me) while admiring the details of St. Paul’s across the street.
It seems like a good way to start the day.

Fish-n-chips in Ballycastle
A friend of Lesley’s has recommended a fish-n-chips spot in Ballycastle. With absolutely no idea what the place is called or where it might be located, we park near the town’s small harbor and walk along the waterfront wondering how we will find it.
It turns out to be easy to spot.
Evening Drive “Home”
Lesley has again kindly given me the front seat, so I have a wonderful view as we head home along the coast, only occasionally interrupted by having to pull out the map.
