Prince Edward Island

So pretty. So, so pretty.

We came here with two intentions: go to Cavendish Beach, and find Thunder Cove.

I didn't realize that Cavendish Beach was on a National Park, so firstly there was an $8 charge to go on to the beach, which while I was annoyed I was willing to pay, but they also don't allow dogs on the beach.  Not wanting to make poor Lita sit in the car while Alanna and I played in the sand, we decided not to go to one of the prettiest beaches ever and instead we were directed to Cabot Beach.  Definitely underwhelming.  But still, nice to lay in the sun, and splash around in the ocean for a bit.

From there we tried to find Thunder Cove, but lack of internet connection made it hard to find.  I could see Alanna fading, but I was determined to find it.  I wasn't going to let our trip to PEI be wasted, and have us fail in both goals.

And we're both glad we did.


Beautiful.  So reminiscent of the scenery I spent a million dollars going to see in Australia.  Every day I'm amazed to discover what is here, right in Canada.  We should have just come right here, instead of going to Cabot Beach.  The beach here is phenomenal; huge, soft sands (it squeaks under your toes!), nice breeze... heaven.

I'm thinking that next year will bring my trip to western and northern Canada, rather than to the USA.  I want to stop branching out to other places before I'm done seeing what is here.
