Saturday, September 23, 2006 Alma to PEI



Drove from Alma to Prince Edward Island (PEI) today and finally saw our first moose!!! As we drove to the Cape Enrage lighthouse just outside of Alma, Brett noticed a very large moose (compared to the small moose?) bounding through a field off to the side of the road. Finally, after countless warnings from the Mainers I've worked with over the last four years, I finally got to see a moose. Very exciting!












To reach PEI, we drove across the 9 mile Confederation Bridge. Until recently, one had to take a ferry to reach the island, but the bridge has changed that and fullfilled a promise to the islanders to improve access from the mainland. We're staying at the Great George Inns in Charlottetown, PEI. It's right next door to the PEI Probation Office, so I should feel right at home! This is the largest city on the island and the seat of the province. Now for dinner of PEI mussels and Malpeque oysters as fresh as they can be!

Great stuff. Can you take a picture of your vehicle and all the gear in it, and how about your camp site. And Sue would probably like some food photos.

We'll work on those food photos. As for the pile of junk that fills the back of the car, we have been buying ice every few days to keep cold the same quart of milk that has traveled with us from boston. good thing it's organic and has an expiration date of early October!
