Lucy Maud Montgomery is quoted as saying
"This little island is made up of emeralds and rubies and saphires with a gentle sea breeze that caresses your cheek and kisses your soul good night". And so we have found ourselves in a little paradise. Amazing scenery, excellent roads, incredibly well thought out tourism information, delights for all the senses and a kindred spirit to share them with. Could it BE any better?
It's a misty day. Not quite raining and not really foggy but somewhere in between. You can smell the ocean from quite a way inland.
We made out visit to Green Gables this morning and toured the old house, barn and gardens. It is actually a National Park. The house has more rooms that you would imagine, looking at it from the outside. The grounds are beautifully kept and the peonies are in glorious pink and fuschia bloom right now. There is a lovely vista from the front porch looking up over the adjoining fields and I was just about to snap a picture when two golf carts came into my viewer. No wonder the meadow looked so green and manicured.
Once hint: If you're driving from Nova Scotia to PEI, you have to cut through a corner of New Brunswick. Buy your gas in NB, since it is 7 cents a litre less that in either Nova Scotia or PEI.
Folks here are just getting ready for the Cavendish Music Festival which starts tomorrow. It's like the Craven Country Jamboree but with salt water. Keith Urban and Taylor Swift are the headliners but we'd really like to go tomorrow when all the East Coast Music Awards winners will be playing.
There is a cute little red trolley you can take to all of the sights here, so it makes it easy to get around and we don't have to find parking places for the RV if we don't want to. Tomorrow, however, we're heading to the beach to do some swimming in the Atlantic. They say the water is as warm as it is in North Carolina, so we'll see. Hoping for a lovely sunny day.
To be continued......
