Today w
e arrived at Prince Edward Island. We left Newfoundland yesterday. We were to leave at 7:30 p.m., however, we were delayed to 8:30 p.m. We were seated on the 8th floor of the ferry and the wind got up to 90 miles per hour. It was a REALLY rough trip. Most of the people on the ferry were ill. The waves were crashing up above our windows. We were all fine and we did not get sick, but we are sure glad that trip is over. We got off the ferry at around 2 a.m. and headed to the closest camp ground to spend the rest of the night. This morning we drove to PEI and went across the bridge. It is really long and takes about 10 minutes to get across. The island is really pretty and this lighthouse, Seacow Head, is by the bridge we crossed. The landscape is alot like ours. They do a lot of farming here and potatoes grown here are shipped all over the world. We hope to see a lot more of the island tomorrow. However, we are once again awaiting the arrival of tropical storm Danny, which is to hit here tomorrow with a lot of rain and we hope not lot of wind. We really like the island so far. That is it for today as I'm am sitting outside, 60 degrees, and in the mosquitoes.
