July 15 - Halifax to Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

We got up this morning (July 15) and drove to Halifax (only 15 minutes from the campsite). The fog was so thick some of the top of the buildings were not visible. The tall ships were in Halifax this weekend (July 14 and 15) so there was a flurry of activity on the boardwalk. After we walked the boardwalk, we drove to Prince Edward Island. The island is beautiful - green rolling hills, white sandy beaches, and red cliffs. I didn't realize how agriculturally based it is. We saw dozens of crop fields - everything from wheat to vegetables to potatoes. There are only 138,000 people that live here but 1 million visitors come between June and September each year. Of course it is the home of the story of Anne of Green Gables, so we listened to the first book of the series (on CD) between Halifax and PEI. Monday, July 16 is supposed to be rainy so we are planning some indoor activities.
