Final Farewell…

Saturday August 1, 2015 – Day 47

Today marks the final day of our Maritimes trip, as tomorrow morning we hit the road early to head back to Indy.  Everyone was packing up and reviewing the route for home.

We were able to do a little more exploring on the island and found some interesting things, like this rotating house.  It sits on high land, so there is a beautiful view of the water.  It rotates so that all of the rooms will eventually have a view of the water! What a creative way to take advantage of the view.  Wonder if it was designed by a Purdue engineer?

It was a gorgeous day…nice and sunny (which we haven’t seen very often) and temperatures close to 80 (which we haven’t felt very often).  There were lots of people enjoying the nice beach along the dunes. 

 

We also noticed a funny looking traffic light…the different lights are unique shapes—green is round, red is square, yellow is diamond.  We were told they are testing these lights on a trial basis…they are supposed to help color-blind people “see” the lights!  Hmmmm….

This is a long weekend for Canadians in this province.  The first Monday of each month is “Civic Day”--a day off, so they get a three day weekend once a month.  What a great idea!  The campground is full, and things in the area a very busy because of the three day weekend.

We had our farewell dinner tonight…a great dinner of PEI Mussels and Lobster.  What a great way to end a wonderful trip!

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone hugged and said goodbyes, and talked about the beautiful country we’ve seen, and the wonderful new friends we’ve made.  Another trip of a lifetime!
