We have made an interesting discovery on PEI. We can not access mediacom for our email. Mind you we are getting great wifi for everything else but can't go to mediacom for either outlook or webmail. I thought it might  be a quirk on the first day, but it has continued throughout our stay. Tomorrow we will travel to Nova Scotia and we will see what happens there.
The last two days we have been sight seeing on this wonderful Island. We took the two coastal drives and mixed them a bit and covered some of the southeastern part first on Thur. There is farm land and churches everywhere. Most of the churches have their own cemetery. The other thing most prevalent is lighthouses, 63 in all though only eight are open seasonally to the public.

Since fishing is a main source of work, there are as many harbors as lighthouses. Many people have taken to decorating their property in a nautical motif.

One of the first stops made on Thur was the Fort Amherst National Historic site. Here we learned that the English did not like dealing with the French and rounded as many as they could and deported them. It also housed a Native cultural exhibit where there was a man hand making a Birch canoe.

It takes one whole tree to create a single canoe. The Birch panels are sewn together and then sealed. We continued through the property and discovered a Native scene setup.

Upon a much closer inspection we noticed our second wildlife sighting. I didn't mention the porcupine we saw coming through New Brunswick because we didn't get a photo. Here this cute little Red Fox actually posed for us.

He actually walked even closer to the truck, maybe looking for a food donation.
We stopped for lunch in Murray Harbor at the Harbourview Restaurant. Great food including homemade blueberry pie.

The day continued in much the same fashion, harbors, lighthouses and rolling farm land. We have been fortunate with the weather until now, limited rain during the day but it lulls us to sleep at night.

Friday is not such a fortunate day. We were blessed by starting with dark clouds and dry but it wasn't long before that changed. We stopped at the first viewpoint and took the only picture that wasn't in a steady rainfall. We stopped at the Darnley Bridge and took a photo of the information board.

The bridge described has had to be rebuilt 8 times since the original. The rain started after this and continued almost nonstop the rest of the driving day.
We stopped at Green Gables Heritage Place and saw they are in a major renovation.

Leaving there we drove through the Prince  Edward Island National Park-Cavendish campground. Upon arriving at the gate we discovered last night was the last night of the season. They were closing up until next May. I was envious though as the sites were good size, had water and electric, with vegetation between you and the site next to you and all for less than $40/Cdn, about $32/US. Leaving there we went in search of a spot for lunch. The Dunes Cafe sounded good and we were quite surprised as we found an upscale art gallery as well as a restaurant. Deb had a lobster asparagus quiche and I had crab cakes. Don't like asparagus. They were excellent.
Pictures are of their garden.

You probably can't tell but it is raining hard when we took those.
We later drove a small narrow strip of land that had white sand beaches on the left of us, and red sand beaches and cliffs on our right.

You can also see the surf on the left side. That is the Gulf of St Lawrence which is between PEI and Newfoundland. Having had enough of the low ceiling and rain we returned to camp and handled some chores in preparation for departure tomorrow for Nova Scotia.
This trip was about seeing colors, only fitting I should show you some.

While we have seen some, we have been told they have been warmer than usual and the colors are later than normal.
