#225 Prince Edward Island

“Pastoral as a picture book, with tiny towns set among rolling green hills, Prince Edward Island (PEI) is surrounded by the cold North Atlantic and crisscrossed by red dirt roads…

PEI’s bucolic lifestyle was nurtured by isolation, and even now – with the island connected to the mainland by the 8-mile Confederation Bridge – the feel is more cow pasture than rat race.

Blue Heron Drive is probably the most traveled (and most commercial) route, as it passes through the north shore’s PEI National Park, which includes the home of L.M. Montgomery and her novel Anne of Green Gables.”

Another day, another downpour of rain. We actually lucked out a little here and while it rained off and on all day we did get well-timed breaks in the down p our at the Green Gables house.
