Day 22  July 8
Well, Dennis started the day having slept eight hours (in the same night!) He decided to stay here another day, so we disconnected the trailer and drove the North Cape Coastal Drive. It was a total of 215 miles.
The weather was sunny and 72, but we had some strong winds for a while.
We came across the Canadian Air Force Heritage Park. It was beautifully done. Dennis has lots of detailed photos to show his aviation friends.
Just a bit up the road, we stopped at the Bideford Parsonage Museum, where Lucy Maud (Montgomery) lived while she taught there in the 1800s.  She was the author of Anne of Green Gables and many other books.The building has been beautifully restored to the period, down the the smallest details. Our guide, Shelly Campbell, did an excellent job of explaining Lucy Maud's time there and the restoration project. Looks like we are the only guests from Ironwood, Michigan!
From there we continued up to the tip of the island. That's North Cape, where the wind must blow a lot. They have a large wind farm, a wind power interpretive center, and companies bring their turbines there to test them. Very interesting. We were told that PEI generates 18% of its power from wind. Also, a company has erected turbines and exports the power.
The ride was kind of disappointing visually - our standards for a scenic drive have been raised to a level that's hard to achieve any more! The last hour was the nicest - along the coast.
Back in Summerside, we ate at the hotel, then walked to the harbor to hear a local band playing an open-air concert.
Tomorrow we head back into the USA.
