Prince Edward Island and Beyond, Day 2, real long!

We left Charlottetown this morning and headed to Cavendish…home of L.M.Montgomery and Green Gables.
We went to “Green Gables”, a special built home and barn furnished with things from that time period of the book, Anne of Green Gables, first published in 1906. I wish I had their gardener!! The grounds were just gorgeous!

Ok, this wood stove is a Waterloo II, 1876. This particular stove was mentioned in one of the Anne books.

See the open door at the top? That’s the oven, there was a special insert for baking so your bread, cakes, etc wouldn’t be smokey!

Ahh, this would have been the room where I spent my time.Two different “Swifts”

This room had a little more “class” than a room down the hall…
the “chamber pot” is in the washstand not under the bed

another neat stove

A wooden downspout!

Lover’s Lane

Oh my! These roses smelled sooooo good!!

Good-bye Green Gables

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Stopping at the beach, Gulf of St Lawrence Yes, I had to stick my foot in Atlantic waters…kinda chilly!!

We didn’t realize PEI was so much farmland!
Farmers were cutting hay and the potato fields were planted and sprouting.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Leaving PEI…remember we came over on the ferry…but we left by bridge.
Eight miles long…UGH…just knock me out and tell me when we’re on the other side!!

The Confederation Bridge joins the eastern Canadian provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick,
making travel throughout the Maritimes easy and convenient.
The curved, 12.9 kilometer (8 mile) long bridge is the longest in the world crossing ice-covered water, and a decade after its construction.

Geo Cache? Yup, one here in the rocks at the end of the bridge!

And another one over by this lighthouse.

Now, in order to get to the lighthouse…

we had to take a path…
yes, there is a path through this!
And…it was full of mosquitos!LOL…we walked reeeeally fast!

Light, at the end of the path…

literally!

Just under the walkway, the lighthouse was loaded with these swallows!

On the road…through New Brunswick

more potatoes, see how deep the furrows are

and more Lupins

Well, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont…here we come.

Thanks for stopping!
