we'll be taking the ferry from Prince Edward Island to Nova Scotia and then drive to Halifax. I cannot say enough about PEI. it's an amazingly scenic province.
- PEI potato field
PEI is the setting of the internationally famous L.M. Montgomery stories. the most popular being the Anne of Green Gables books.
- "Green Gables" national park
the house pictured above was originally owned by a relative of L.M. Montgomery and it inspired descriptions that you'll find in her books.
Update: a last minute change of plans has us in a small town called Antagonish. tomorrow we'll make another effort to get to Halifax.
we went for a sunset stroll on a nearby beach. as we were leaving, we noticed that some idiots hadn't put out their beach fire - we toasted some marshmallows before we covered it with sand.
- the last thing a lobster wants to see
update: we recently made it to the Nova Scotia side of the bay of fundy. it's quite a striking place. the beach sand is red and the shoreline is lined with high bluffs. and then there's the tides; the bay experiences the greatest tidal change in the world (about 28 feet). this photo of a Cape Split dock nicely illustrates the difference between the high and low tides.
