Arlys on windy ocean on east side of PEI

We are in Prince Edward Island now. We had to cross the Confederation Bridge. It is 13 km long! Good thing it was a nice day as they shut it down when it gets too windy. What a long drive across the Atlantic Ocean. Quite something to see and do. This is where Lucy Maude Mongomery lived and wrote her stories about Anne of Green Gables. There are Anne of Green Gables shops, museums, restaurants, etc. etc. We went into a few of them and it is a good thing to bring in the tourists. The island is very small. It is only 280 km from tip to tip and 56 km wide.  It is very rural with lots of farms and country roads. It is home to many charming fishing ports. In talking to the locals though the winters are extremely harsh. They get a lot of snow and up to 90k winds, so a lot of them leave this area and come west for the winter. Enjoyed seeing the island.
