Sept. 19 - Day 14 - Touring PEI

Day 13

This morning, as we opened the curtains of the motor coach, we were greeted to the sight of oyster fisherman in the bay digging for oysters using long wooden handled tongs. This method of oystering is the only accepted way of removing oysters from the bay.



A large luxury coach arrived at the campground at 9:00 AM to transport the rally participants for a tour of Prince Edward Island. The tour lasted until 3:00 and during that time we visited a lighthouse, the fishing harbor of Rustico and Anne of the Green Gables Museum.








We were then driven to the Prince Edward Island Preserve Company for lunch. http://www.preservecompany.com/ Before being seated for lunch we posed for a group picture.
This restaurant produces a variety of very tasty jellies and jams, some flavored with wines and other alcoholic beverages.







This evening we will be transported to the local Benevolent Irish Society hall for Kitchen Party. This type of party, complete with food, drink and entertainment, is common throughout the Maritime Provinces.
