The next morning Kristie and I went for a little jog to the French River beach, just down the road from where we stayed. We could see the lighthouse there from our room. I loved the old run-down pier (with broken lobster
trap) and the grass swaying in the wind. The sound of the ocean is so calming. I feel like I just want to breathe it in.
Afterwards, we headed to
Charlottetown. It had the cutest little shops, where you could find everything Anne. I liked the little street called Victoria Row. We had been lucky with the weather up to this point, even though it was supposed to rain every day... but our luck ran out. It started pouring cats and dogs, so we ducked into a little place called Cafe Diem for lunch
before seeing the matinee of Anne of Green Gables the musical. It was a very lively interpretation of Anne (and Gilbert wasn't as cute as in the movies). The music and dancing were fun, though, and it always makes me cry when Matthew dies. Overall, it was a delightful
play. In the Confederation Center where the play was shown, there was an art gallery that featured Anne of Green Gables. The author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, kept two scrapbooks, one blue and one red, where she put clippings of photos, poems, and stories from magazines and newspapers, as well as some of her own. She actually experimented with the new (then) medium of
photography. She would be fascinating to learn more about. I also loved the dress with
puff sleeves. We spent a little more time walking around the harbor, eating Cows ice cream, and listening to a marching bagpipe band.
For dinner, we headed to Dalvay by the Sea, the White Sands hotel of the Anne books. It is situated just above a lake, with cute wooden chairs on the lawn to enjoy it. We arrived just as the light was starting to fade.
The food was incredible. I had halibut with a lobster/pepper/mango salsa (yes, I ate more seafood). Then an amazing dessert. Delicious!
