Back to sightseeing!
Today we traveled to the home of Anne of Green Gables. It is on a beautiful farm and the gardens are unbelievable. When you exited the house the scent from lilacs engulfed you.
The lilacs and lupines grow here prolifically. They are just lovely.
We found a farm that makes their own Gouda cheese - it is yummy. We bought some to bring home - maybe we will have a wine and cheese party Canadian style when we get back.
We also went into another national park and saw 2 eagles sitting on branches on the side of a river. That was breathtaking to see them in their natural habitat. They say there were around 50 feasting on fish near one of the beaches. It was raining too hard to walk to see them Just a little disappointed about it; but at least we saw 2.
We actually got to see the Gulf of the St. Lawrence. Never thought we would see that in our lifetime. Their national parks are nothing like they are in America. Here they don't officially open until the end of June so you enter them for free until then.
Went to another wool store - one of us just loves them, and Dorothy bought a wool sweater that was from local sheep, knit by a local resident. Can't wait to wear it.
The funniest thing was the convenience store that has a denture clinic in it. Odd.
Went to a goat farm where they produce their own soap and have quite a variety.
It is a cool rainy day, tomorrow we are planning on having dinner at one of the "lobster supper" places here, some are at churches some are a wharfs we will let you know how it is.
