Prince Edward Island was our first more then one night stay and I think We were in need of a break since we slept in even though we got to bed earlier then we had been on the road and slept in both mornings we were there. We enjoyed Cavendish, PEI even though it was a huge tourist trap. We found a very nice restaurant and did enjoy the opportunity to see where Lucy Maud Montgomery lived and wrote Anne of Green Gables. Any of you ladies who have not read it, I suggest you do. PEI is what I consider a whimsically magic place. Got into Cavendish late afternoon on Sunday and headed for Nova Scotia late morning Tuesday. Well rested and happy that a five hour drive was all we had between us and another three night stay in one place.
The proof that it happened are pictures of Tia and me standing with the Saint Lawrence Bay as our backdrop, Tia buying the promised chocolates for Kathy and Wendy from Anne's Chocolate Shop and buying cookies from a quaint little bakery in Rustico for the two of us. The cookies have a secondary story in that when we left the Island we got lost enough that Tia stopped to ask for directions and a nice older man and his wife, who were headed in the same direction, told us to follow them. We did and in a little while we knew where we were at and they pulled over and told us we should be able to get to our destination if we continued on the road they had set us on. We traveled on not thinking about them until Tia stopped on the side of the highway and was digging around in the backseat when they pulled up in front of us. Everyone got a good laugh that she was just looking for the cookies that had been packed in the backseat. My side was still too painful for me to being doing contorsions getting anything from the backseat in a moving car. (Moni, it is now two full days later and I am seeing improvement. The only time it has hurt today is when I sneeze, cough or laugh real hard.) The laughing part has been too common with Kathy and Tia being so much fun to be around.
Signig out for the night,
