Prince Edward Island - Anne's country

I awoke this morning to a rather dreary greeting from PEI. It was very grey and drizzly. Luckily I had a new rain jacket which kept my top half nice and dry as I walked about 40 minutes to where my rental car awaited to be picked up. Saturated I started on my ramblings around this beautiful island. And that it is...beautiful!

Winding roads (some of them red dirt just like Lucy described NB: I am referring to Lucy Maud Montgomery of course, the author of the Anne books and so many others), rolling green hills, pastures with lazy cows, fields of purple and yellow flowers as far as you can see, and the quaintest houses all with front porches. I think I am in heaven! Of course I might think differently if I was here in winter. I found a lighthouse which I'm sure Captain James of Glen St Mary was the keeper of. Today I stuck mainly to the east side of the island.

I found a path today that is begging me to explore so I will find my way back to Roma tomorrow and see what I can see.

So these next few days will probably have more photos than usual. I promised Mum that I would take heaps of photos so she could feel like she was with me. Bear with me in all my Anne references.
