On a weekend visit from July 7th until the 10th to Prince Edward Island with one of my best and oldest friends, Linda Wood, we took a day trip around the eastern and central areas of the Island, beginning at Uigg, near Linda's home of Orwell, then heading to
Victoria-by-the-Sea, which is one of my favourite places anywhere, and then finishing up at
Point Prim, which has the oldest lighthouse on the island.

I love the island for it's beauty and endless rolling hills, not to mention the many beaches....those were great pics Paul...I also enjoy walking through cemetaries...older the better.
Hi Larry,
Europe is great for old cemeteries!
As for the Island, it's one of those special places... almost mystical in its beauty and character. I sometimes miss the pre-bridge days, when it was even more isolated. :-)
