Another pretty day, but much warmer - mid 80's. We exercised and then took off for Cavendish (about 50 miles). This is where it all started for Lucy Laud Montgomery and the writing of "Anne of Green Gables" and subsequent books. We watched a short video and then toured the fictional home and walked along Lover's Lane and thru the enchanted forest - beautifu1 woods. It was so calm and peaceful - just took you back in time....

Anne's Green Gables home
I was disapppointed that Anne wasn't there today - usually she is in full costume and walks around and talks about her life, poses for pictures, etc. But today, she was off doing her chores? So, next best thing, I posed with make-believe Anne in the gift shop.
Pat and Anne
We checked out the shops on the Boardwalk of Cavendish and shared a lobster roll and PEI fries at Captain Scott's Seafood Place. Then.....just before we left to come back....time for one final COWS treat (mine was "Wowie Cowie" and Mark had "Mooey Gooey")! GOOD stuff
Stopped in Charlottetown to pick up a few more things I had seen yesterday and then home to Daisy. I did 3 loads of laundry and we turned on the air!
Annette sent a picture today of their neighborhood and how the streets are full of water from Isaac. After supper we went for a 5-mile bike ride on the trail. Wish we could take this awesome walking/biking path with us - so pretty thru a heavily wooded area!
Tomorrow we move on, but sure enjoyed our stay here on PEI and this very nice little town of Montague. Traveling thru the wide-open spaces, we saw dairy and beef cattle and some sheep today plus many bales of straw. The Maritime Provinces are certainly diverse in their landscape making each one special - lots of great memories to take from beautiful eastern Canada.
