July 16, 2007 – Prince Edward Island

So much for weather forecasting. They called for showers all day today. When we woke up it was overcast and looked like rain could fall, but by noon I saw no clouds in the sky and it was a beautiful day. Once again a weather blessing from God above. We went and saw 5 very small museums today. The first, Woodleigh Replicas, is an amazing little outdoor display of castle and cathedrals. Most are 1/20 to 1/3 in scale. They even have some you can walk through. The other 4 museums were all related to Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables. One was her brithplace, the second was her childhood home (she was raised by her grandparents), the third was Mrs. Montgomery’s Aunt and Uncle’s house (the setting of the main book), and the fourth was a house of a relative who actually gave the tour himself. Tomorrow we will go to Avonlea, which is a recreation of the town in Anne of Green Gables. Sheri purchased a Anne of Green Gables hat that comes complete with red haired pigtails.
