Pictures from Prince Edward Island (PEI):
Time for a break, stretch our legs and wander the isle of the Masstown Market

Not a real lighthouse- they sell fish and fish and chips here.

The Confederation Bridge- 9 miles long- today
 because of some fog on the PEI it looks like
 the bridge to no where!
Craig and I by the bridge
You can get on to the island for free
, but to come back to Nova Scotia
 by bridge or ferry costs you a $50.00 tax =)



On PEI and its lunch time- Charlotte Nelson heading in to check
 their prices etc. We had a delicious seafood chowder here.
Part of the fishing industry
, they raise and harvest oysters
and muscles(is it spelled the same?)

Beautiful, peaceful farmland everywhere you look.


Lucy Maud Montgomery
 is the author of the Anne of Green
 Gable  books. She was born here.

Farming and fishing everywhere.


Beautiful red soil found all over PEI-
 They even sell what they call "Dirt Shirts".
They are shirts dyed with the soil.
 I don't have one yet, but I will!!!!

Beautiful and peaceful

Wild Lupines they grow throughout PEI and Nova Scotia.

The 2 Charlottes head into the Museum about Anne of Green Gables

Me outside the Museum

This wasn't the ride we went on, but they offered one here.

Bleeding Hearts these are called I believe. My mother loved this plant.


We stopped at a beach on the North Atlantic, the rest area was so clean and nice.

Lo and behold the Elders in the area showed up at the same
 place on their "P" day. Elder Proux (the one holding the bags of chips)
 was an Elder who had served in Dartmouth area!


Walking the beach, even the rocks are red!!!

Just so you know, the North Atlantic Ocean is cold.
They told us if you keep heading north you would find Labrador.


The Elders exploring the area.


Even the little streams are salty ocean water, but the land is gorgeous

The view outside our Bed and Breakfast!
So peaceful and lovely

Charlotte and Darrel out for an early morning
stroll on Tuesday.


Firedance Country Inn
Bed and Breakfast-!!!

Making sure we are all packed!  Where's our camera?

Inside St. Dunsten's Cathedral in Charlottetown

The Confederation Hall- where Canada
 as we know it had it's beginnings.

This big mace in the cabinet is used to call
 government sessions to order.

This is the room where the meetings about forming Canada began.

Square red lights, yellow light are oval, and green lights are diamonds in PEI!!

Meet Doc- a beautiful, well-behaved horse and his owner.


We had such a lovely carriage ride around Charlottetown.
There you see the 2 Charlottes. I managed to leave my purse in the
 carriage, but thru prayer and faith, it was found and I got it
 back safe and sound.

We didn't see this till we were leaving- but we were in Charlottetown!

Our 2 day trip is coming to an end, this is the ferry that will take us back to Nova Scotia.

A working lighthouse off to the side of the ferry wharf.

Another smaller, but working lighthouse.

Okay, maybe its a little bit too windy to eat
 outside on our ferry boat ride.

We are the last car to board, but we made it!
