And the winner is (so far) PEI. The best welcome centre amd provincial info centre belongs to the province of PEI. Quebec held that distinction prior to today. We came over the Confederation Bridge and even though it was a bit touristy, the info centre had highland dancing and Acadian music. One of the highland dancers asked Yvonne to come dance with her, but Yvonne was too shy.

PEI is solid farm land which makes it very beautiful. Many of the homes are very spectacular, especially since they are surrounded by green, fertile land. Our campsite is lovely. We are on the north coast of PEI, just 15 minutes from the tourist area of Cavendish. It is very quiet and lots of room between sites. We took a little drive this evening to see the Cavendish area and now realize we have TONS to do while we're here. We are booked here for 6 nights - tonight is one.

So, we plan to see Avonlea tomorrow - which is a tourist version of Anne of Green Gables' village. Then, we will spend a day at the beach at the National Park, then there is the Green Gables National Historic site which is Anne's actual house preserved. There are tons of activities like Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Waxworld, Sandspit (a carnival style attraction), a Water park and various restaurants, gift stores and different areas of the National Park that can be visited. Six days will not be long enough, but we'll do our best.

We also have to fit in Summerside and Charlottetown. We might be o n PEI a little longer than we planned.
