REFLECTING
Prince Edward Island may be the smallest province in Canada but it's sure packed with surprises. We were impressed with it's cleanliness. It may be due to the huge lawns they have in their yards. I would hate to have to cut them but most have ride lawn mowers. Well patched 2 lane roads followed a tapestry woven from vibrant greens ,patchwork-quilt farms ,rich rust sandstone cliffs and deep glistening blues of the sea add to the enchanting medly of rich colour. Fields of blue, pink, and purple wild lupins are everywhere. Many cottages, country inns, mansions some turned into bed and breakfast, dot the landscape as well as 50 lighthouses and many fishing villages. We were surprised by the fact that a fictitious 8 year old girl could bring so much hype . Immortalized in a novel -Anne of Green Gable. After potatoes and lobsters Anne is the Islands most important product. The Japanese even come to get married, they are so in love with the red head. Last but not least it is comforting to know that in 1867 in Charlottetown our country got it's beginning. We really recommend giving this friendly Provence
a visit. 6 nights is not quite enough but we had reservations on the ferry.
