Green Gables and all that Jazz!


Day 9: 19.07.09
Another day in paradise! Once again we awake to uncertain weather conditions but we are not deterred. We decide to visit Green Gables itself. This is the place where L.M.Montgomery drew her inspiration for her “Anne of Green Gables” series. We spent about an hour or so in the grounds of Green Gables and the house itself. We even explored the Haunted Woods Trail. Again, this was fodder for the fertile imagination of L.M.Montgomery as she composed her stories. After this visit, the weather had cleared and it was starting to actually feel hot so John decided to take the kids to the Shining Waters Fun Park. By all accounts they had alot of fun. I decided not to go with them and took off to North Rustico to explore the town and traverse the boardwalk out to the lighthouse there. Being a maritime village, I could not go by the fish market without purchasing some fresh PEI mussels, scallops & shrimp which I subsequently cooked for dinner.
