Aug 6 Farewell dinner

I wrote a poem for the farewell dinner.

When the sun comes up
Over the ocean blue
And the green grass glistens
With the morning dew

Where will we go
What will we find
How can we stretch
And fill our mind

Spirits soaring
Wheels on the road
For the time being
This is our abode

We look forward 
To discover new places
We enjoy seeing
All the new faces

Why do I do it
Weather be damn
Because that's just
Who I am

So, it's been fun
It's been real
Hope to see you again
Round the curve, over the hill

Sandi HEINEMAN

The haunted wood and lovers lane from Anne.

 Lucy Montgomery's grave

Had lunch at Cafe on the Clyde owned by a Scotsman who started out by making jelly with wine and spirits.  The food is unbelievable.

Anne of Green Gables

The industry of PEI is potatoes (the best I have ever eaten) and Anne of Green Gables.

 The typewriter Lucy Montgomery used to write Anne of Green Gables.

 This girl was a great Anne.  She had something personal to say to everyone.  She admired my turtle.

 Anne's room although Lucy did not live in this house.  It belonged to a cousin.

Little girls dressed as Anne.

3 Aug on to PEI for the last 5 nights of the tour

8 mile bridge,  the longest over the ocean bridge in the world.

 The greens in PEI remind me on Kauai

Sand dunes

Highlands Keltic Lodge

We stopped for ice cream.  A beautiful lodge

Arm of Gold Campground.  As everyone in Canada, they had a gorgeous yard.  Friday night before we were to depart, we couldn't start the RV.  We found a mechanic that replaced the starter but it cost us hours of time and we missed the Alexander Graham Bell Museum again.  The only attraction on the trip we missed.

More Cabot Trail

Les Trois Pignons

This museum is incredible.  Many antiques but features Cheticamp hooked rugs.  They hook in a different way.  They spin and dye their own wool.  The rugs are unbelievable.

 They create their own designs.  They stretch the canvas, stitch and then release the canvas holding the wool yarn in place.  You can see women all over town practicing this art..
