Today we headed up to Cavendish and the Anne of Green Gables National Historic Site. The original forecast for Friday was periods of rain, but in the morning it had changed to mix of sun and cloud with a 60% chance of showers. The girls and I headed down to the water this morning, but the tide was already up.
The girls not quite awake.
Slowing the shutter speed down to get the smooth water.

Before heading to Green Gables, it was picture time in front of the cottage.

The original house is gone, all that remains is the cellar.
The Green Gables Post Office, this house was brought from Rocky Point and is said to resemble the house Lucy M Montgomery grew up in.
After Green Gables it was on to New London to visit the Village Pottery store.
From New London it was down to Victoria-by-the-Sea to the fish store to buy some fresh lobster.
We bought some 1-1/4 lb lobsters and brought them back to the cottage to cook them up. Claudia picking out her lobster.
Gillian and the lobster.
Angela holding her lobster.
We had to use two pots, the larger pot could hold two at a time.
Here are the Tanabe’s waiting to dig into their lobster. It was messy but delicious.
After dinner it was back down to the beach to comb for some more sea glass. Claudia picked a giant mushroom from the field, must be from all the rain we got last night. It rained 39mm, but most of it was overnight.
Our final sunset on PEI.
We’re going to miss the red cliffs and sand.

We had to make our way back to our stairs as the tide was coming in.
We made it back. We have packed tonight so that we can go down in the morning as low tide is at 6:00 am.
We have had a great time at the Good Cottages this week and can’t believe the week is up tomorrow. We head to Halifax tomorrow for a couple of days.
