adventure || p. e. i. ||

if you're like me, not only have you grown up watching anne of green gables, but you've also watched the tv series road to avonlea as well. this is the avonlea village...and how quaint it is! 

 white picket fences...

 ...old carved staircases...

 ...companies for the well known raspberry cordial...

 ...and big yellow churches. as if you are in the very setting of avonlea. 

this is dulvay by the sea. well known in the series as "the white sands hotel." 

tomorrow's adventure is back to the beach and sunsets, this time touring teacup rock. 

|| happy fourth of july! ||

 "the land of gold, sapphire, emerald, and ruby" 

[l.m. montgomery]

if you visit the island, its distinct beaches will take your breath away...

"I think that Cavendish just now is really one of the prettiest spots on earth...everything is so green and fresh...and beyond the green fields and slopes was the blue girdle of the gulf, forever moaning on its shining shore." 

 bright, ruby red cliffs and deep, sapphire waves...

"Look at that sea, all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds." 

you must plan a little time to sit and watch the sunset...

...whether you photograph it's beauty or sit and drink it all in...

 ...the beaches here are nothing like i've ever seen. 

more about sunsets later. tomorrow we'll view avonlea.

what is prince edward island known for? 

it's rich, red soil? 

it's vibrant green grass? 

it's very own ice cream factory? 

or 

it's beloved fictional character anne of green gables and her author l.m. montgomery? 

while each play an important part in the island's uniqueness, the fact that it is the home to anne of green gables makes it known. 

there are actually two museums and we toured them both the same day. 

{lovers lane} 

 "Once and again, I stray down and listen to the duet of the brook and wind, and watch the sunbeams creeping through the dark boughs, the gossamers glimmering here and there, and the ferns growing up in the shadowy nooks." 

{anne's room}

"And I can hear the brook laughing all the way up here. Have you ever noticed what cheerful things brooks are? They're always laughing. "

though the first museum seemed to be flooded with tourists, we did so enjoy our time at green gables...

l.m. montgomery actually lived in this house at one point and was married here as well. 

neither place really resembles the green gables we all known from the movies, but both museums are a must see when visiting the island! 

tomorrow we'll tour the beaches!

if you were to walk around charlottetown you would find many things to entertain you...

boardwalks by the water, lighthouses in the distance, 

flowers blooming everywhere, old historic buildings, plenty of shops, 

and lovely views. 

"It would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree all white with blooms in the moonshine. Don't you think? You could imagine you were dwelling in marble halls, couldn't you?" [anne of green gables] 

tomorrow's post will include green gables...i trust i'll meet you again  tomorrow!
