Greetings from the Arctic….
Cold is the word of the day. I had to keep reminding myself that it was June 10th today as it felt a lot like a cold March day. The temperature didn’t get above 50 and the breeze made it chillier. We have been noticing all along that PEI is behind us in seasons. The apple trees as I mentioned yesterday are just now in bloom as are the tulips and lilacs. The weather today was also indicative of a cold spring day. OK...enough of the whining...I know some of you have been having the extreme opposite in weather temperature!
Today we made our way to the Red Sands Shore to visit Victoria by the Sea. This is a very small village but we were able to find yarn shop and a chocolate shop where they made the famous Island Chocolate. Our group is always up for shopping especially when it is chilly outside!
We also found another lighthouse and a great view of the Confederation Bridge. The red sand cliffs are a beautiful sight and the rolling green hills and red fields never get old. We eventually made our way back to Charlottetown and stopped at the COWS Creamery. COWS is a popular ice cream store on the island and across Canada. Their ice cream and cheese is made with the milk from those happy, grazing cows who are lucky enough to live on Prince Edward Island. I didn’t order any ice cream since I was freezing but I did enjoy all of their punny t-shirts. They have all kinds - “Anne of Green Stables”, “Deadmool”, “Grazemooatomy”, etc.
After visiting a few shops in downtown Charlottetown and finding some lunch we decided to go back to the B&B and warm up and play some cards. Dummy Rummy is our family card game which involves many hands and is not for the weak of heart since it brings out the competitor in all of us! Since we were just guests and wanted to keep our rooms for the night we toned it down a few notches with Chris as the ultimate winner.
Tomorrow we say goodbye to PEI and begin our journey back to Boston.
