July 2022
Having discovered from my Parks Canada brochure, that PEI was home to several National Parks, I decided to visit a few of them today. I am blessed with yet another glorious warm, blue sky kinda day, with a slight breeze in the air.
I had lunch booked at #DalvaybytheSea, a National Historic Site. This was a private residence belonging to the MacDonald family and dates back to the late 1890’s
While I sat by a window to enjoy the sunshine and calm waters of the pond, I was impressed by the quality of the wooden beams and stone work surrounding me in the restaurant. I knew I had to take a few pics, if only to show my dad, who would thoroughly enjoy the handiwork and craftsmanship.
After lunch, I took a stroll along the grounds and made my way back to the car, to continue my days long exploration of this part of PEI.
I eventually made my way to PEI National Park, Greenwich Park and walked along a few of the pathways adjacent to St. Peter’s Bay.
The last leg of today’s adventures would take me to the East Point Lighthouse, at the most eastern point of PEI. But first, a quick pit stop, some fruit and nuts to fuel and then on my way.
The drive took about an hour, easy travelling, along 16 east, with the Gulf of St. Lawrence in view on my side of the car. With map in hand, I discovered that at this point, the Gulf of St. Lawrence flows into the Northumberland Strait, which then flows into the Atlantic ocean – a geography lesson for me.
I made my way back to Souris, visited their local lighthouse and went in search of some dinner.
I was able to visit 2 more National Parks and a few more lighthouses. Another glorious day with new memories and adventures to look back on.
Thank you for reading and letting me share.
Stay tuned.
