PEI: August 22, 23 and 24


Day 15

Another sunny day in Nova Scotia. Good for driving, I guess. We decided not to take the ferry, so made good time getting through NS and New Brunswick, all the way to Parc Provincial de la Republique by 8:00.

We stayed again in site 82, so no new view from my chair. Just a long day.

We did note that there are no interesting signs on any Canadian highways. Not good for the blog :-)

Days 16 and 17

We've stayed in this park many times, and have never visited the NB Botanical Gardens, so today was the day. It's a lovely garden:






The best part was the butterflies:









We could hear the whine of a power tool and followed it to the workshop of Luc Cyr, the artist in residence. He creates beautiful wooden sculptures, especially birds, and he made me little male figure which I've named Luc and will cherish:




After this diversion, we hit the road and got through NB and Quebec easily with leisurely stops and snoozes. Montreal was a breeze at 8:00 and we stopped at the Flying J just in to Ontario for a sleep. Home by noon and very happy with our Down East visit.

Here are the treasures I collected. I love finding beautiful beach glass, rocks and shells wherever we go. Great memories!
