Poor Kim. Today was spent driving, as will tomorrow and the next day. Although, tomorrow and the next day are full days of driving back to Maryland. Tonight is our last night in Canada! It was fun.
Today, however, we drive the "Tip-To-Tip" driving tour. Our hotel is located in the heart of "Anne Country," but that's really north-central PEI. So, the tour took us along the northern roads that parallel the coast.
We stopped at a light house at each end of the island to obtain award ribbons, and at the second light house you visit, they give you a certificate to prove that you had, indeed, visited both tips of the island.
The drive took us about eight hours. PEI is quite diverse geologically-speaking. The northern tip starts out with cliff beaches and deciduous trees, which turn into rolling hills and conifers. The eastern tip still had mostly conifers, but also had more plains than hills. I think. Days have really been running together. I'm kinda glad I've been keeping this journal (even though I despise journaling) because we are all forgetting what we did just this morning!
After obtaining our certificates, we took a self-guided tour of the eastern light house, and went to the top!! It was my first time at the top of a light house. In Portland, Maine, we climbed to the top of the Observatory, but an observatory is different from a light house.
Anyway. Today we also geo-cached, any and I walked on to the Singing Sands in the rain (didn't hear it sing due to said rain), and watched a lovely sunset at yet another light house.
So long, Canada. It was fun!
