The Adventures of Sunsette -- Our PEI souvenir (July 11)

[Alliecat]

"Lunch in the car is pretty much the norm when we go away."

"Here's the next chapter of our PEI Grand Tour!  Yay!"


"Our first big beach is Cavendish, on the north shore."



"Red beaches, red rocks.  This little scene might be on Mars, if Mars had birds."



"Our new toy.  You can't tell here that it needs major repairs...."



"We found a ... BUMBLEBEE, SLEEPING ON A ROCK!"



"Yes, it really was alive.  We hope it was just sleeping, and was OK.  Seems like a weird spot for a bee to sleep."



"We also found these weird tracks, which Mum hasn't found out what they are yet."



"This is pretty nice.... I think we'd like it here."



"...sighh...."



"We left our mark."



"Pretty evening colours at Rustico beach."



"Next day, we're doing south/east shore.  We found chair-sized scallop shells."



"After lunch in the car, which we posted a pic of the trunk sandwich station previously, we visited Cape Bear lighthouse.  The Marconi station heard the first Titanic distress call in Canada in 1912.  (A Newfoundland station communicated with them but Nfld. wasn't part of Canada yet.)  It wasn't open.  And the blackflies here were, like, biblical plague level.  We shot a couple of quick photos and ran for it."






"Cape Bear is the waaaayyy southeast point of PEI.  On the other side of the point is Beach Point, with another lighthouse."



"You can't really see it in the photo, but the sand right here is full of little glittery bits."






"And there are BOATS.  Yay!"



"How cool is THIS.  We missed posing with it cos we waited in the car while Mum wandered around a piece of land."



"There are lots of little beaches.  At this one, someone had painted the rocks."



"And we found a mermaid.  Sort of."



"...as well as this funky little we-sized cave and arch."


"Thanks for reading!  More to come."
"Love, Sunsette  "
