 Off we go again. This day we head for Charlottetown on
Prince Edward Island (PEI). We get to go on another ferry, this time
from Caribou NS to Woods Island PEI. The trip lasted about 90 minutes.
It was a very smooth operation. Easy in - easy out. They have a simple
pricing scheme getting on and off the island, independent if you use the
bridge (western side of island) or ferry (east). You only pay when you
leave the island.

 PEI is a land of farming and
fishing. The farms are large
and beautiful. Lilli taught us about the different types of wheat and
what potato fields and flowers look like. We got educated. On the way
to Charlottetown, we detoured a bit to check out a lighthouse on the
southern coast. The lighthouse is called Prim Point Light and is
currently under management of the local community (except for the light
itself). Plus they had a gift shop. We all made out like bandits.

 Home was the Canadian Best Western motel right
outside of Charlottetown. There were provisioning facilities and
restaurants within walking distance. We drove up to the north coast to
the Cavendish Beach area where one day we visited the Shining Water
Family Fun Beach. It is a smallish amusement park with swimming pool,
rides, nature areas, and a place to eat. Lilli was nervous with the
large sliding tubes and they wouldn't let her use her goggles in the
pool. Capt. Bob took her on a little cruise on a really small boat and
she took a ride on a little roller coaster. She would have had more fun
if she could have used her goggles.

 Next, we went Cavendish
Beach National Park to swim in St.
Lawrence waters. We were not accustomed to the water or the beach.
Everything was red. The surrounding rocks were red, the water was red,
the sand was red, and Lilli was turning red. Not the best time for our
little grand girl.
