Anne of Green Gables Tour

Yesterday we were in Prince Edward Island and our tour was Anne of Green Gable and a tour of the island.

Our first stop was to Prince Edward Island Preserve Company.  They sell all kinds of jelly, jams, tea cups, etc.

Outside of the store there was this little guy.  The Island has a Scottish feel to it.  Many people from Scotland settled here.

The front of the store.  Notice the large chicken.

In case you missed the chicken, here it is again.  Very clever if I say so myself.

This is the grave of Lucy Maud Montgomery, The author of the book "Anne of Green Gable".  She married a pastor by the name of MacDonald, thus the name on the head stone.

This is the house of green gable.  Lucy did not live in this house but was owned by her relatives and she visited it ofter.  The entire story is fiction.

You can tour the entire home.  Rooms are like they were in Lucy's time.  Very well presented.  the dining room is above.  Lots of colorful wall papers.

One of several bedrooms.  The beds seem small to me.

This is the kitchen.  Not like our kitchens.

Another bedroom.

The yarn winder is on the table.

And the spinning wheel.

The front of the house.

 The barn has the fake cow.

Below is the start of Lovers Lane.  Bob and I walked the entire length.   Pleasant as the weather was still clear.  It did start to rain at the end of the tour.

After we left the house we drove out to the coast called the bluffs.  Notice the red sandstone.  This is the north side of the island.  The beach behind us has been voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.  And below is just another beautiful view of the sandstone.
