Prince Edward Island (PEI) Day 1

We got to the ferry 2 1/2 hrs early (we didn’t know what times it left!)…so we got our place in line and just “hung” around. The lady in the cafeteria, Jennifer, told us about an owl out back that had been around all day.
Not just any owl…but a Snowy Owl! Lloyd was able to get within about 40 ft of it.

 Isn’t it beautiful?!

While I kicked back in the truck and took a nap, Lloyd did some whittling.013We thought this was the ferry we were taking, but it wasn’t.

While waiting, a group of guys pulled up on their motorcycles…from New Jersey!
Here are a couple of them napping…lol

Our ferry pulls in and the travelers depart, then it’s our turn to drive on.
