Confederation Bridge - The longest bridge over ice covered waters in the world, joining Borden-Carleton, Prince Edward Island and Cape Jourimain, New-Brunswick. The 12.9 km structure was completed in May 1997 and carries two lanes of traffic. You have to pay to depart PEI but not to go on. |
Windsurfing - Canadian style. |

A nice landscape view on PEI. I can just imagine Anne walking across the hill. | Lucy Maud Montgomery's birth home. It, along with most things on PEI was closed. |

They have an Avonlea 'village'. This, too, was closed. They do reenactments. | Luckily, Green Gables wasn't totally closed. It was closed on Saturday, though. I thought that was odd - open Sun - Thurs. |

Even though Green Gables was closed, there was a sign to feel free to walk around. So I did. | This has nothing to do with any thing - I just thought it was a great house. |

I took this picture of the North Shore on Saturday. Remember what this looks like - there will be a quiz later. | I kept looking and looking because I just KNEW there should be seals there, and I finally found this guy. |

Yes, PEI has several lighthouses, since it is an island. | So, this was taken on Sunday. Notice the weather difference from the earlier picture? I told you there was a quiz. |

Green Gables... well, that was the main reason I was here! | Yes, they were open, but I was the only one there, so I got a private tour. |

They had it decorated in period Christmas decorations. Right down to a gift from Gilbert to Anne. | I can imagine Anne looking out the window to see who was arriving. (Yes, I know she was fictional.) |

The kitchen, again. The original part of the house actually ended with the dark floor area. The 2nd generation added the other part. | An amusement park!! Yep - closed. I need to come back in the summer. |
