Silver Sands RV Cap Pele NB

Now I know how Columbus must have felt...as he sailed off the ends of the ocean....that's where we are now.  Right at the edge of the Atlantic.  Beautiful view....another strange park.  Couldn't find anyone around when we got here (no reservations) so R knocked on the door of the house (?) ...a little lady said just go pick a spot.  They are all supposed to be pull thru, but if we pulled through this spot, we'd take out another fifth wheel in front of us....will be interesting when we leave.

It's very cool  here.  The wind is howling...not off the ocean, but from the opposite direction....gonna be good sleeping weather.  

About the only thing that happened today of note was when Ronnie decided to give the satellite a go.  He'd been reading up on the east coast settings, so he tried resetting it and ....wow...we have satellite.  We will watch Fox News tonight!!!  And when the little guy came by to collect, he gave us the WiFi key and we have a decent wifi.  We have felt really isolated w/o any home connections.  Thought this was gonna be a long two days.

Tomorrow we go over Confederation Bridge into Prince Edward Island...it has 3 loops ...one on the north side, one on the south side and one in the middle sorta around Charlottetown.  We chose the middle.  It goes along the coast a bit and is the area where the story of Anne of Green Gables was written.  We both fell in love with that series a few years ago.  I highly recommend it...just a really good family movie.  Anyway, that's on for tomorrow.  And that will be the turning point of our trip....we head back home through Maine, Vermont and south.  A long way to go.

Ronnie is feeling back to normal today.  Thank goodness.  He keeps telling me I need to drive "just in case".  I may on a freeway somewhere, but we'll see. 

We ate the last of the food tonight...pork chops, rice & veggies, salad.  We can't take any fruit back over the border, so we'll be eating one last apple tonight.  Tomorrow night we'll have to finish up the one last tomato. 

New Brunswick, Nova Scotia....really pretty places and in a lot of ways are like home, but in a lot of ways different.  Home is different for everyone.  I prefer the USA...it's my home. 

Our next trip in the RV will be to a place where we will stay for days/weeks and make day trips.  We have done in 3 weeks what others say they did in 3 months.....because we drove a lot, sometimes with the RV/sometimes without.  Either way, we were in the truck, sitting and that's a little hard on two old people. lol. 

It's 7:15 and getting dark....and cool.  We need to get out and walk a bit.  Hope we don't get blown out to sea.
