Montague, Murray River, Panmure and Wood Islands

17 June 2022 Hard to believe this is our last day!  We wake up early and get going with chores: organizing, packing, cleaning.  The wind is blowing hard and it has grown colder. How hard does the wind have to blow before they cancel the ferry?  We decide to go with flow and see what happens. We are… Continue reading Montague, Murray River, Panmure and Wood Islands

A Day at Hunter River

June 16 2022 Kitty and I are both exhausted following our afternoons in Charlottetown. We wake up at 5:00 with the rising sun, and take time to eat another leisurely breakfast of farm fresh eggs and toast. Later in the morning we set out to explore more of the nearby Confederation Trail. The segment that… Continue reading A Day at Hunter River

Bootcamp at the Culinary Institute of Canada

June 15, 2022 What an afternoon!  Months ago, we found the “Culinary Institute Bootcamp” online.  It had great reviews and I loved the idea, so I signed up for a half-day class. As I approached the brick, academic building, I wonder “Now why did I think this was a good idea?”  The group of participants met awkwardly in the… Continue reading Bootcamp at the Culinary Institute of Canada

New Glasgow Lobster Supper

June 14, 2022 Nature says stop.  We have had solid hard rain all day.  Time to rest.  But meals do carry on.  We start at 8:00 am with our farm breakfast that we arranged upon arrival.  What a feast.  Fresh blueberry muffins, yoghurt, granola, fresh egg quiche, homemade bread, current jam and bacon.  Now we have met some of the pigs… Continue reading New Glasgow Lobster Supper

PEI Landscapes

“This Area is Too Rough for a Water Fountain.”

Today was a travel day. We’ll cover those details in the next post, but wanted to take time here to describe our hotel experience here in Dartmouth. When we checked out we asked for more details on the hotel’s status as a homeless shelter. We found out there are six other hotels in Dartmouth that… Continue reading “This Area is Too Rough for a Water Fountain.”

Over MacDonald Bridge

June 10 2022 We awaken to a beautiful day after last night’s rain.  The forecast was for rain our entire stay but it has not played out that way.  Some overcast and one evening of rain but otherwise clear sunny skies.  We noticed that you could cross the big harbor bridge on foot.  I think it would be… Continue reading Over MacDonald Bridge
