We left PEI this morning and our sparkling clean coaches were mucked up as soon as we hit the road. Overnight rain and morning drizzle gave us a fresh coating of PEI red dust…er…mud. We had an easy drive of 220 miles on good roads, mostly 4-lane. Our excitement of the day occurred shortly after we got back to New Brunswick when a Bobcat ran across the road about 25 yards in front of us.
About 4 pm after setting up camp, we drove down the short distance to Peggy’s Cove. By then the weather was beautiful, but windy. We stopped at he Swissair 111 Memorial just as you enter the Peggy’s Cove Protected Area. The Memorial is for those who perished on Swissair 111 on September 2, 1998. This spot, a short walk from the road, gave us an unbelievably spectacular view of Peggy’s Cove, about a mile down the coast. The Atlantic Ocean, the rocks, the large breaking waves, blue skies, and puffy clouds were perfectly illuminated by the sun at our back. We then drove into the town and down to the Lighthouse to take the prerequisite boatload of photos. After that it was off to the gift shops where we did our duty to support the local economy.
If you are wondering why no photos this trip, I’m taking everything in raw image format and for some reason the conversion software will not work on the laptop. Try everything out before you leave home! Of course the software CD is at home! We could have used the proverbial left-handed smoke shifter tonight.
