XCAN Day 79. Rest Day Cornwall P E I

I don’t know how we do it but a lot of our rest day coincide with some amazing low pressure systems that come through wherever we are.  Saturday was no exception. The rain started around 6:45 am and did not let up all day.  As everywhere,  PEI needed the rain so the farmers were happy.

Nancy and Dave spent an hour or so under the awning cleaning their bikes in the morning.

Both couples were  planning to explore around Charlottetown so we headed in shortly after lunch.  We hit the information centre first and Nancy and Dave headed off after getting the information they wanted. We spent a bit of time asking about our plans for a bit of a road trip tour for the next day. The woman was very helpfull.
We then headed out to look at a couple of places around town.

The KOA had some umbrellas they lent out so that was very nice to have.  We wandered down the street and looked at a few areas and made it to the arts Center where we watched a small vignette on pre confederation. It was very well done and we enjoyed it.  As we headed back outside the rain had not let up at all.  So Greg and I decided to head to the grocery store to do the shopping and then back to the trailer.   So that is what we did.

Had a quiet afternoon and I won at Bananas.  Dinner was left over Chinese from the night before which actually was better than the night before.

Nancy and Dave had done some sights and then out for dinner and arrived back to the trailer with very wet feet.   We all headed to bed in our waterfront trailer for all the puddles from the deluge of rain.

Greg and I were getting up a few hours later to pick up Dustin from the Charlottetown airport.  His flight from Vancouver to Montreal was changed that morning but he was able to get on a flight from Vancouver/Toronto/Charlottetown.

We arrived at the airport and the Toronto flight was a bit delayed so it was 1:30 am before it arrived and about 2:30 by the time we got back and into bed.  So a bit of a sleep deficit this night.

I am excited about having Dustin here for a week and riding with me.   Should be a good time.

I  afraid there are no pictures from today from me as it was so grey and miserable.  

Supposed to be sunny tomorrow!    Heidi
