There is more to PEI than "Anne", of course, but we will continue that part of the story later. We have tickets to "Anne-the Musical" for tomorrow. Meanwhile we enjoyed a nice day of "rest?" when we catch up on all the stuff we need to: maintenance on the RVs, on ourselves, and our blogs, mail, etc. Here we've stopped for a break and picnic. The campground, Sun n Shade, is owned by some Christian musicians, Harold and Marnie, who offer free music every Friday thru Sunday nights at 8PM.
Here they are, along with one of their guest musicians, for the evening. Roger, along with several others, stepped up to the open-mike portion of the program, and entertained with a Civil War medley on his harmonica.
The favorite food offering of the Island is...you guessed it...Lobster! Bet you never saw this sign at your local Subway!
The next day we toured the North Cape end of the Island. Many beautiful churches, mostly in this Neo-Gothic style:
In the heyday of the tall ships and the shipbuilding industry, PEI and its lumber where key to the British Empire's mastery of the seas. Here at the Island's Shipbuilding Museum the story is told for the "landlubbers" like us, and most our generation. Fascinating!
Moving around the North Cape, the northen-most point of the Island, one finds these red cliffs and this beautiful lighthouse.
Looking northward out to sea from the cliffs you see this sandbar, now at high tide, which demarcates the junction of the Northumberland Strait on the left with the St. Lawrence Seaway on the right.
Our final stop for the day, some supper and
Irish Moss Seaweed Pie. Sounds great, doesn't it? And it was! We had two slices. Wish you were here!
