The drive was not without its challenges, though, as the PEI “Potholes Every Inch” nickname reflects.
In 1908, Lucy Maud Montgomery published the first of her Anne books, which became an instant success. In 1937 (while Montgomery was still alive), PEI created Prince Edward Island National Park, largely focused around historical and fictional sites connected to Montgomery and Anne Shirley, a fictional character in her books. Is there any other national park in any country that’s been built around a fictional character? I know they are also protecting beaches, sand dunes, wetlands and saltmarshes, but one look at the Cavendish area, and you can see that the park is really focused on all things Anne (which is not a bad thing, just interesting).
Great eagle photos! Sorry about your cat bite, CIndy. Danno’s lucky you didn’t leave him in Nova Scotia. ha, ha. 😉 . Your trip is very inspiring. So many places I’d love to visit!
