Prince Edward Island, Good things come in small packages

Staying on the Island and living the Island life is a great way to spend a few weeks or if you are lucky a  month. There is always a cool breeze even on a warm day and the nights cool off, so sleeping is  comfortable. If you are going to the beach, biking around or visiting the farmers market, 'Good morning' or 'nice day' is a common thing to say to strangers and in no time you will be joining in. Is it the sea air or just a laid back attitude that makes Maritimers so pleasant? Perhaps it is because they are surrounded by natural beauty or maybe it's because they can have amazing seafood when ever they like.
Farm fresh produce available at road side stands, that are operated on a 'honor system,' bring you back to a simpler time and always puts a smile on your face. The home made rolls and desserts that are available at most small stores make a wonderful addition to a meal of fresh fish and straight from the farm produce. I guess it is true... good things do come in small packages.

Prince Edward Island


I am off to "The Island" for a month, heading to the cottage with Mom and sweets-the cat. I can hardly wait to visit the farmers market in Charlottetown and then head to the wharf to pick up some 'fresh from the ocean' fish. There are many places that I love to visit, when I am home and I will share them with you. It will be once a week since the cottage doesn't have a computer, part of the charm!
If you never had the pleasure of visiting the east coast of Canada, check out the PEI link, it really is worth a look   http://www.tourismpei.com/index.php3
