Day 35 (7/26/09) - Eastern PEI

This morning we slept a little later than previous days; left for the days' journey at 9:40 (67° and partly sunny). Our trip today began in PEI National Park, a sand-duned, ocean front park. The beaches have redish sand, which appears to be typical for PEI. The trip was a loop to the northeastern side of the island, with stops at a light house and a distillery. We also stopped at the gift shop at Dalvay by the Sea (http://www.dalvaybythesea.com/), the summer cottage of Alexander MacDonald, a president of Standard Oil in the 1800's. A very beautiful "cottage".

We got back to the campground about 4pm to find that Wendy and Gerry at arrived. Spent a pleasant evening with them and Ken and Sheila. All of us are here for about a week; we look forward to spending more time with them.

Distance: 155 miles (248 km)
Time: 4 hours
KPG: 39.9 kpb!
Camping: $30.60

PS - We still have slow internet, not sure if pictures can be uploaded at this time.
