Highlights and Lowlights.


Cavendish Beach Provincial Park, P.E.I.
Esther and I camped here for a night. It was the most beautiful campground location I've ever seen, our tent was mere feet from the ocean and we fell asleep (and woke up) to the sound of waves on the shore and Canada geese overhead. Winner situation! We spent an afternoon/evening running around on the beach and sliding down sand dunes. I ALSO found a ton of heart rocks, currently residing in a plastic bag in the back of Scarlett. My collection is growing!



Green Gables, P.E.I.
Yes folks! I saw it! And was extremely disappointed!
I am a huge Anne Of Green Gables fan, I've watched the movie and read the books countless times, so I was pretty excited to see where everything happened. I knew previously that P.E.I. had become really tourist-y but I wasn't prepared for the full extent of it. I was so disappointed! First of all, you had to PAY to get into the house (I didn't, I begged the man at the wicket to let me in to just take a picture of the exterior and he was very obliging), I ended up just walking around it and down Lover's Lane and through the Haunted Wood (best parts!). And, even though it is the off-season, there were huge tour buses with masses of tourists who (I'm going to be very bitter here so bear with me) had probably NEVER even read the books! ANGRY RAGE!!!
I did, however, get the obligatory pictures. I mean, I couldn't go all the way without getting at least one. It IS Green Gables after all...

Also, here's something awesome for you to chew on:
Philippians 2.1-11
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, and participation in the Spirit, and affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being of full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant that yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself to becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
WOOT!
