Day 35 - Cavendish

I pretty much had a laid back, slack day after burning rubber here from NS. I couldn't describe yesterday as anything other than a travel day. Oi.

PEI is amazing... like NS, it has its own almost ethereal quality about it... even the dirt looks magical (well... almost fluorescent red, then again... maybe those are my tinted driving glasses).

I spent most of the day exploring. I got to see the farm that Anne of Green Gables was based on, and also walk through The Haunted Woods. After that, it was straight off to Cow's. Apparently, the original Cow's is NOT in Banff... it's in Cavendish - and I've got the photos to prove it's the motherstore!

I then drove out to the ocean, and stuck my foot in the Atlantic, after having collected some ocean water for Ashley. For me, this marked the start of the end to my roadtrip. Even though Cape Breton was physically farther away, every day from here on in would be towards home instead of towards a new corner of Canada.

Sentimentalization aside, I still had a fantastic day. I finished off by buying tickets to the Anne of Green Gables musical. Student pricing + AMA discount + Opening show discount = awesome show for hella cheap. It was neat, I still remembered watching the musical in Grade 4 when it was put on by my high school. Not to say Strath's version was bad, but there's just a level of polish 30+ years of production will give a show that high school students just can't match =).
