Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province, is close to Nova Scotia and certainly worth a visit. Vicki had read
Anne of Green Gables in preparation, and then all of Lucy Maud Montgomery's
Anne novels, and more, so we had to go. We were two days there, partly driving the pretty island, partly visiting the several
Anne of Green Gables sites. Among other things, we were struck by how much PEI reminded us of New Zealand.

Sea farming all around the island |

Other kinds of farming too; PEI has three
industries, I think: farming, shellfish farming,
and Anne of Green Gables |

One of many little fishing coves |
|
This aqua-farm had a retail outlet, from which I
got some wonderful, large oysters and some very
fresh mussels for seafood feasts the next few nights |

Us, at the dunes on the north (east?) end of the
island |

Standard PEI lighthouse |

But here, at the farthest north we'd get, the foliage
was beginning to change |

And so, after a day with Anne, we headed back
over the impressive Confederation Bridge, to New
Brunswick and then Maine, and the leaves |
