To Greenwich National Park on PEI.
St Bonaventure Church.
Everyone has a woodpile like this. I guess you need a bit of wood to get through winter out here where they get 2m of snow over winter.
St Peter’s Bay Roman Catholic Church. I think they need to organise a painting weekend.
The start of the walk to Greenwich Dunes via Bowley Pond. The entire trail is 4.6km (2.3km each way) and takes about 20 minutes each way.
A thoughtfully placed emergency shelter if it’s required.
A touch of Autumn colour.
A view of Greenwich Beach from the trail.
On the trail.
Floating boardwalk over Bowley Pond.
First glimpse of the Gulf of St Lawrence at Greenwich Beach. I thought it was the Altantic ocean but the water was so calm I looked more closely at the map.
Greenwich beach to the east.
Greenwich beach to the west.
An emergency shelter on the beach - or a very cool cabana!!
The floating board part of the trail is 700m long.
An exposed Dune.
Lichen growing on the back dunes.
Some Autumn colour!
By the Bay GF pizza for dinner tonight - great.
In the 1900s Scottish settlers formed the majority of the population on PEI due to the highland clearances, religious descrimination and economic hardship.
In 2021 the Scottish were still the most reported ethnic origin on PEI.
We are going to a Ceilidh tonight featuring The Chaisson's Trio - Kevin Chaisson, Louise Chaisson-MacKinnon and Sheila MacKenzie with special guest fiddler Troy MacGillivray. It’s held at the Sterling Women’s Institute Hall at Stanley Bridge which was established there in 1913 and still going strong.
Fabulous night!
