Prince Edward Island


We made it to Prince Edward Island on Wednesday afternoon after a 8 mile trip over the Confederation Bridge which connects PEI with New Brunswick. An interesting drive to say the least. PEI is a small farming island with active agriculture everywhere you look. From fields of wheat and corn to potatoes and cabbage it seems that they grow everything.


Thursday we did some chores like I got a new tire for the trailer and Sharleen got her hair done. Between we headed for the beach about 5 miles from the campground. We took a couple of mile walk on the beach and this is the Gulf of
St Lawrence which we walked along. A nice beach for just walking . The water was warm  so lots of folks were swimming.





In the park was this national historical monument. The Dalvay house was built in the mid 1800's and is now a hotel and restaurant.
In it's day it was a summer home.Nice little summer cottage don't you think? Off to the Anne of Green Gables area tomorrow. I don't know much about Anne but, as I understand it, she's the Tom Sawyer of PEI. Think you  have to be a girl to understand. Tomorrow I get educated!
