Quick Post From PEI

Each day when I am riding, I think of things to write about on the blog. Then, we get in, eat dinner and it is late, so I feel rushed and don't get everything I thought of during the day.

When we rode through Ontario and Quebec, we were following the St. Lawrence River. Interestingly, at the west, it is a decent size river, but nothing huge. As you head east, it gets bigger and bigger. You can imagine what all the river traffic must have been like at one time.

New Brunswick was a beautiful ride this morning. Very much mountainous and started off foggy and misty. Great roads and chilly, but comfortable temperatures. Started out at 57 degrees!

As you head east, the mountains go away, and you can tell you are heading for ocean. We crossed over the Confederation Toll bridge to get to Prince Edward Island. We did some riding around and it is a very agricultural and picturesque island. I went to one of the south beaches and got some red sand. I went to a more northern beach and expected to see white sand. It was more like brown sugar. Side by side you can tell the sands apart, but if showed just one, you would just have to guess. Oh well, I must have missed the whiter sand beach!

Looks like we might have ferry issues getting to Newfoundland. From North Sydney to Port aux Basques are all full on Friday the 29th. We will call in the morning when the ferry office opens if we can get on the one from North Sydney to Argentia. We can do the island backwards :)
