Today was another relaxing day, it started out cold and cloudy, the high today was only 14 °C. The sun came out around 2:00 pm. We were going into Cornwall for dinner so we made a side trip to see a few lighthouses. The first one is the Blockhouse Point Lighthouse built in 1876.
Angela and Susan peering in the window to see the rooms and wallpaper. It was automated in 1962 and de-staffed in 1963.
We visited this lighthouse back in 2012 when we came to PEI.
Looking for a new family photo for the blog.
The tide was going out.
Next stop was the Port-la-Joye-Fort Amherst National Historic Site. For some reason we didn’t stop here in 2012, which was odd as we had to drive right past it to get to the Blockhouse lighthouse.
We found the Parks Canada red chairs.
Another contender for blog family photo. It would be fitting as our current photo is from our Newfoundland 2013 trip of us sitting on the Parks Canada red chairs in Gros Morne.
This was the Acadian Odyssey Monument that explains the Franco-British conflict in the 18th century and the deportation of the French and Acadian population.
It was a little windy, can you tell?
This the Warren Cove Front Range Light. It was built in 1907. Claudia was photobombing my shot.
Another view from the trail down to the water.
This the Warren Cove Back Range light.
The remains of the Fort Amherst earthworks.
