Drove the Confederation Bridge to enter the island. It was suggested that we rent a cottage in Cavendish which we did. Cavendish is lovely. Very Anne of Green Gable-y. You see Anne
paraphernalia ALL over the place. If you ever watched CBC's Ann of Avonlea on TV, that is exactly what it looks like. There is a nice boardwalk along the shore by North Rustico with fishing huts and boats.
Took a drive to Charlottetown. This photo was taken from Province House, the birthplace of Confederation. Canada dates its birth from July 1, 1867 and its conception from September of 1864. The occasion was a conference to discuss the desirability of union of Britain's North American colonies. The place was Province House, in Charlottetown.
We hung out in the north. We took walks and enjoyed viewing the fishing villages with their small huts, lobster traps, and boats.
We drove from Cavendish attempting to get to East Point, where two currents meet in the ocean, but somehow arrived in Souris instead, so stopped for brunch. We continued down the southeast coast to the Ferry Terminal in the south. Before departing the island, we visited Rossignol Winery and discovered some great raspberry, blackberry and blueberry wine.

With all the places that you have been and so many more to visit I am hearing a song by Stompin Tom Conners - I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE MAN! Did you know that your relative is living in Wellington County (where the Hippeee Aslett farm is located). I googled and found out that he will be in Edmonton on August 31/10 - Stomp it up CLR - LOL! Your friend MJT - Great pics and an interesting blog!
P.S. After the 1:41 P.M. earthquake down here a tornadoe touched down by my Aunt in Midland - just before 7 P.M. - The damage was extensive. My Aunt had trees etc. all down unenabling her to leave her driveway and is waiting for the tree guys to get her out! I am so glad that her eldest is living with her and is helping her out. She is a bit in shock and said it was sure a bad storm!
