September 16

Hi;

Today was a super day. We drove to Prince Edward Island, known here as PEI.
First we crossed an eight mile long bridge which cost us $42.50. Thank goodness
we didn't have the fifth wheel with us.
Our drive along the island was absolutely beautiul. It reminded us of England
except the roads were wider and you didn't drive on the left side. Where England has
rock walls and hedgerows PEI had shrubs and small trees to form their fences. It's
rolling hills and the roads go up and down with lots of curves. We loved it.
Then the Green Gables Historic site was amazing. The house had been owned by the
author's grandparents cousin and she spent a lot of time there as a child. It is the
home and community she based the books story on. It has been beautiully restored with furniture carpeting, and wallpaper of the time. L.M. Montgomery, the author, was
raised by her grandparents as her mother died and her father was unable to care for a
baby.
We want to watch the movie once again after being able to read excerpts from her
diary and see the area she was writing about.
It was way after lunch and we'd only had a small breakast so food was next on our
agenda. We found a little mom & pop type restaurant and I was able to have a lobster
roll. That was on my list to accomplish before leaving the east coast. I liked it
better than the lobster dinner. Certainly a lot easier to eat. No work for me, just
the cook's labor. Delicious!! So much so in fact, I may have another in Maine.
Tomorrow we do laundry and take a quick drive into Nova Scotia. Not sure how much
we'll see or how much fun it will be as the weather is turning. Lots of rain expected.

All for now. Dolly PS. I just viewed the post and don't know why it publishes with the
lines all screwed up. They aren't when I write it. Sorry
about that.
