Central PEI , Victoria By The Sea

We went to Victoria by the sea today on the south part of the island. It was a bit like the Nantucket of PEI!!!
The architecture is so Victorian beautiful! You can just imagine what it looked like when it was all newly built.



We went into this gallery that had a retrospective of this 88 year old PEI artist who worked in batik. I don't think I have every been so blown away by a body of work . Technically it is beyond my comprehension. Made me so excited!!

How do you like my new "collage" addition!!! lol



I just cant enough of the rolling farmlands. They are so pristinely picturesque!!



next to are campground is an oyster dock. there are floats in the water everywhere!!! Aquaculture on steroids!! If you blow up picture below, beyond the jetty all the black dots in the water are the  floating oyster cages seen in forground.



I made a yummy 3 course treat from our bounty. Oysters with miso chili butter and panko. fresh steamers and lobster bacon corn quesadillas with salad. We feel so blessed and thankful to be able to appreciate this wonderful life and world....

 
And the piece de resistance ton our morning walk...another bald eagle. They are everywhere!!

 And then we saw our first blooming lupines!! We are just a bit too early to see the masses.

We are off to explore Charlottetown today, the capital of PEI

Bay of Fundy

 The Bay of Fundy was as interesting as everyone says! Cape Enrage Classic Architecture The tide is so big the fishing boats literally get grounded and have to wait for the tide to fish. JUst crazy how these BIG boats sit stranded every tide They put the cage thing under the boats so they don't tip. It's lowered by a line and pulled into place each time they dock....so explained the kind fisherman below Getting the herring ready for the next tide  lunch at the caves St Martins Sea Caves- hard to see but these are huge caves you can walk in at low tide...unfortunately we missed that part but still interesting. On to next campsite. We camped at a campground right next to Hopewell Rocks. Made a great meal with our water view. hot miso butter oysters seafood pho now this is how to camp!!!  The next morning we hike about 2 miles over to Hopewell Rocks...beyond amazing!

We arrived in Lubec Maine to meet up with dear friends and to stand in the Easternmost spot in the lower 48. It's kind of fun because we stood at the westernmost spot during our fall trip to Washington state. Our campsite in Lubec. What a sweet spot. Enjoying an evening with Chris and John. This is West Quoddy Head Lighthouse. The town of Lubec is the epitome of  Maine   And oh did I say lobster again.... had a great meal and visit with our friends Chris and John.
