"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"-MARK TWAIN

Prince Edward Island

 We spent three days on PEI. Just to say we had been there, I guess. The campground we were in was on the eastern end of the island. Crossing the Confederation bridge could have been exciting, but it was fogged in, so we couldn't see the view. 

We spent Sunday and Monday just driving around visiting some light houses, restaurants, and walking some of Charlottetown. Didn't backtrack to Ann of Green Gables vicinity.  Some photos.






We stopped at a nice Harborside restaurant for lunch. Had some wonderful chowder and awesome coconut cream pie.


A few other pictures.





Yesterday, Monday,  we spent some time in Charlottetown. A beautiful and vibrant downtown area. We just walked and looked, and had some Cows ice cream.

Some historical homes.



Walking downtown. 
















Finished the day with ice cream, and then, beer.


On to Nova Scotia..

Fundy National Park

 


We arrived at Fundy National Park on Wednesday. The park and the town of Alma are pretty much the same. Alma is where the lobster boats float, or sit on the mud, depending on the tide. Most times we saw them somewhere in between. We ate lobster, walked on the sea floor when the tide was out, and hiked the town and surrounding hills for three days. I'm having to do this blog from my phone, so it's going to be short on text and long on photos. Any questions, I'll try and answer on a later post.



















Moving on to Prince Edward Island tomorrow...jc

Made Canada..

 The last three days have been much of a blur. Since leaving Ive's Run on Sunday morning, we've been on the go. Sunday afternoon found us at Artisinal Brewing in Saratoga Springs, NY. A Harvest Host location where we met our traveling companion for the next two months. Monday found the three of us traveling to Gorham, NH, and a forest service campground near Mt Washington. As it was a clear afternoon we thought we might get to the top of the mountain. It was not to be. Road closed nearly a mile from the summit due to snow.

We could see the summit.
First car to climb Mt Washington
Museum
Snowed in.

Today, Tuesday, we traveled some narrow backroads to Calais, ME, and the border. Crossing was a non event,  and we're spending the night at a blueberry farm store in St. George, New Brunswick. A beautiful little town full of delightful people.  We walked the streets, visited a pub for fish and chips, and stumbled upon a waterfall and fish ladder. 







Tomorrow will find us at Fundy National Park....jc
