East Coast Lovin': Prince Edward Island

I think I've fallen in love with the East Coast a little bit - mind you it's only been 5 days, but the weather here is my type of weather - a nice cool breeze 24/7 xD.  Today we had a "field study" in Prince Edward Island which for me was extremely exciting.    We first went to the Cape Jourimain Nature Center where we learned about some natural history as well as the history of the bridge connecting New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island.  It turns out before the bridge was built, in order to deliver mail and get from the island in the winter, a few poor souls had to walk across the ice with a boat in tow as often parts of the water was melted and other parts were not.  After that we visited the Province House in Charlottetown where the fathers of confederation first met followed by a live music theater performance depicting Canadian Culture.  Then the most exciting part: Avonlea Village!!! We walked around and met Anne and Gilbert catching some live reenactments as well as dressing up ourselves.  That was followed by a trip to the Green Gables National Historic Site where we learned a bit about Lucy Maud Montgomery, and finally an all you can eat mussel dinner before heading back.  Needless to say, it was all very exciting and Prince Edward Island was absolutely gorgeous.  I think in the future I'm going to have to come back and spend a bit more time in the Maritimes!
