We arrived here in PEI on Friday afternoon and stayed for 2 days and three nights while renting a car and exploring this very green island . The island is quite large and consists of a couple bigger cities of which Charlottetown is the largest. As we sadly discovered by driving in yesterday, it has drastically changed from our last visit to PEI some 8-9 years ago. It became a metropolis of the island with shopping malls and numerous new buildings, developments and settlements surrounding it all. It’s called progress and moving along with the modern world and all that it entails by sacrificing the old charm that brought us here in the first place.
In general the island consists of farm land and the rolling hills are covered by miles and miles of potatoes farms, corn, grain and soy as well as dairy and sheep farms, and not to forget some Alpaca farms as well.
As we drove around the island one day we passed by a place that was called a Showing place where horses, cattle and fowl are eagerly displayed. Majestic race horses are tested in skill and mobility. There are some racing competitions held there too. What a sight to see all these magnificent animals being presented in all of their glory. Right in front of this very busy section there lies a small house with the name “Anna’s Kitchen”. We were intrigued and entered to be surprised by some wholesome country cooking by grandma Anna and served by her two beautiful teen aged grand-daughters of which one proudly carried her name. Great stop and memorable experience!




Organic produce is with pride displayed on Fresh Farmer’s Markets in union with home baked or home made goods and goodies as well as pottery, crochet, aromatherapy and alpaca knitted products. What a pleasure just to walk through and witness all this it is!
Tasting some freshly baked cinnamon rolls along the road and engaging in some stimulating conversations about “ending world hunger projects”, the invention and utilization of windmills and other natural resources of energy, as well as witnessing in recycling and composting biodegradable waste. Canada and its people have impressed us greatly and inspired us to move on in same direction in preserving our magnificent planet and our own well-being.
What an opportunity to see, experience and witness all of this and be enriched by it all! Thank you God for allowing us to be able to do so!
