We started our day yesterday driving up along the north coast of the island to Cavendish, center of the Anne of Green Gables area. The drive was beautiful as we passed picturesque farms, coastlines and quaint little fishing villages.
French River -- where the farm meets the sea.
We visited Green Gables, where Lucy Maud Montgomery grew up. It is the setting for her beloved book, Anne of Green Gables.
Jim made a new friend there.
There is also a whole village of Avonlea. Some of the buildings are original and some are recreations.
After we left Cavendish, we drove a scenic section of the coastline - rugged red cliffs, beautiful beaches and too many photo opportunities.
Quite by accident, we stumbled upon a beachside eatery called Richard's Fresh Seafood. We saw the people in line and thought it looked like a good bet. Turns out it's famous for its fish, and has been featured in many papers and magazines, including the New York Times. The bonus was we also got to enjoy a gorgeous sunset.
Finally, the weather was so great we got to pitch our tent and camp for a night. The campground was almost deserted - just us and the foxes. We saw several, but they wouldn't pose long enough for a good picture.
This morning we woke up to a beautiful pink sky. Hopefully that is a sign of a good day to come.
Sometime today we will take the ferry to Nova Scotia and continue our journey in one last Canadian Province before heading back to the U.S.A.
What a beautiful set of skies!! What did you get at the seafood place? And where are the pictures of your food?
ReplyDeleteWe shared fish and chips and a lobster roll. Delicious, but we could have chosen one to split, it was so much. Too busy eating it to photograph it I guess!
