We’re staying at a nice large campground called ‘Vacationland Campground.’ Here’s the view from inside my screen room looking toward the Brackley River.
Here's another shot of Roxie enjoying herself at the camp site.
On Saturday we took a walk along the boardwalk outside Cavendish. It was a beautiful day with just a light breeze. These people have it made here on this island. 
We toured ‘Anne’s Land’ farm and drove along the coastal highway to Malpeque. I wanted to see Cabot Beach but didn’t find the turn off. Hopefully I’ll see that on the last leg of the tour (North Cape Coastal Drive). We toured the house that Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote about in her stories "Anne of Green Gables."
We went out for a drive on Sunday. It was another beautiful drive first to Brackley Beach and then to Dalvay and Stanhope beaches in PEI National Park. The beaches are unspoiled and it’s like stepping back into time. The Stanhope Beach parking lot might hold 15 or 20 cars. There was a very plain changing house; one side for men and one for women. Look at the sign showing a woman’s silhouette with a clothes hanger. There was also a separate bathhouse and a two-seater outhouse. Very quaint.
At an access point near Stanhope Beach, I talked briefly with a woman who was dragging her wind sail up from the beach. She said she learned to wind sail when she spent a year in a camper van on the west coast. She’s an elementary art teacher and her husband just retired. She said all their friends were retiring but she had a few more years to work, being younger than her husband. She said she lived for a few months in Colorado and New Mexico and she loved those states; the only places where she didn’t yearn for the smell of the sea air. She also said she lived for a few years in Ontario for love; that is where her husband is from. She says she has an old farmhouse on PEI and comes for the weekends. She lives and works in Halifax NS. It was very interesting to see her having such fun wind surfing in what she called a very ‘friendly’ ocean. 
We drove up Route 6 and then to Route 2, which took us along the coast on East Coastal Drive. Everywhere I looked was beautiful and picturesque. The entire province that I’ve seen so far has been pastoral, neat, uncluttered, green, and very well cared for.
We decided tomorrow that we would head for the campground at Brudenell River Provincial Park. Then spend the day touring the northern loop and the next day touring the southern loop. After that we’ll explore the North Cape and then on to Nova Scotia. It should be around Friday or Saturday by that time.
