2019.09.22 – Prince Edward Island, Canada (PEI)

 It was around the tenth of September when we first arrived on the PEI and hurricane Dorian was a concern.  It uprooted trees in places and blew down entire corn fields.  We were without electricity for the first day and a half at our campground.  After that, it was  smooth sailing on this beautiful island.

If there are any Anne of Green Gables fans out there, we stayed only a few miles from where it all took place.  This is the birthplace and home of the author, Lucy Maud Montgomery.  Anne of Green Gables is such a big deal here Linda was inspired to read the book which she thoroughly enjoyed.  She even attended the play, Anne of Green Gables, in Charlottetown, the islands largest city.

The PEI is a beautiful place.  The houses are well kept and the yards/fields are manicured.  Rolling green hills abound.  We highly recommend it.

While driving around the island, Jerry took these pictures.

  

There are a LOT of churches on the PEI.  Notice the spire.

This is the bridge connecting Nova Scotia to the PEI.  It's 10 miles long!  Needless to say it's a toll bridge.

There are a lot of light houses as well.

This is Dalvay by the Sea.  It used to be a private summer home but is now a hotel within the Prince Edward Islands National Park.
