After a drive across the Confederation Bridge, we arrived in pastoral Prince Edward Island. Miles of farmland, farm houses, and villages roll up and down from one red shore to the miles of white sand on the other. We stayed in Charlottetown with the most eccentric B&B owner yet. Conversations with her were long and amazing leaving Bill and I either slack-jawed or in hysterics. I eventually resorted to trying to tiptoe past her door and into our rooms on centuries-old creaky floors! For more entertainment, we went to see Anne of Green Gables, the Musical - playing, as it has since 1965, at the Centennial Playhouse just around the corner from us. It is a full-out, old-fashioned musical and I loved every minute of it. Bill liked it too although he didn’t need a Kleenex at the end…
Two days on PEI and we felt we had seen it. The outlying areas close down at the end of August. As one young woman in Cavendish said, “At the end of August, we change the traffic lights to flashing and look up when a car drives by.” We tried to drive down to the seashore in a Provincial Park but were stopped by a gate that won’t go up now until June.
