PEI

First stop en route to Prince Edward Island is the Noah's ark cafe Yvonne had discovered online. What a treat! The ark is enormous, apparently it was built originally as a Bible school. I've read since it's meant to be about 1/3 or 2/3 of the size of the original. Either way, the ark dominates it's surroundings at about 300 feet long.

The menu pricing is a welcome blast from the past, and we order sandwiches and salads for a later roadside lunch. Obviously, Brad has to have one of the whoopie pies displayed🙂.

Still following the hurricane Lee updates with rising concern, we have a pleasant but prolonged trip back across New Brunswick. Opening our lunch boxes midway to we discover sandwiches with real chicken on slabs of home made bread, a virtual feast, and completely delicious!

Finally Confederation bridge rises ahead of us. Almost there! This bridge is so remarkable, stretching out of sight across what seems an impossible length. It's hard to see over as we approach the unmistakable red dirt of PEI.

Our cottage is located across the Island, which is still a greater distance than it might seem. But the place is perfect, clean, convenient, well maintained, and with a host so friendly it was a bit tough to maneuver away to actually get to our cottage!

And on our heels arrive Mike and Barb, we're so happy to get an extra, laid back, sit on the porch and chat visit for a couple of hours. They're in nearby Charlottetown, and are waiting for Haily and Jake to arrive on the island.

As they leave, we realize we have just enough time to make it to an evening ceilidh at the historic Stanley Bridge Hall. So off we roar, making it in time to enjoy yet another different Maritime musical traditional show. The Chaisson family is a vast local musical family, and they are joined by a guest fiddler and a step dancer. It's feel good music, and a very satisfying ending to a long dayBaca lagi
