I was at Magnetic Hill, oh, around 2003. We visited New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (Cabot Trail and all) and visited numerous attractions one being Magnetic Hill. To see the video on the CBC website just go to to the 'related' section next to the article. It explains the phenomena - or illusion - that's Magnetic Hill.
Incidentally, on our way back from our trip there were a few signs for Prince Edward Island as we passed each one we debated whether we should take an extra couple of days and go see that whiny whore Anne of Green Gables and pick up some red dirt and sacs of Cavendish potatoes. We opted to drive on through. One day we'll go back.
At times you make me so mad that I have to intervene. P.E.I. is a lovely place, well worth a visit. The scenery, the people the food are most enjoyable. Now, with Confederation Bridge it is very easily accessible.
ReplyDeleteWhat's more it is family friendly and children are welcomed and accomdated everywhere.
Take your young daughter to Rainbow Valley Park, she will require an army to get her out.
As for Anne of Green Gables, she is an epitome of resiliency and Lucy Maud Montgomery, through her, has become a classic of Canadian litterature. In Japan, the books are a required reading in schools and at any time there are scores of Japanese loaded buses roaming the Island.
Forget the Road to Avonlea TV serie. Sullivan has betrayed Montgomery's work and made it into a soggy somewhat family oriented soap opera.
Wow. Suc passion for Anne and Avonlea!
ReplyDeleteWe do plan to head back east at some point and P.E.I. will be on the agenda. I promise. Likely in a couple of years when my daughter reads AOGG in school.
Rainbow valley is for children under 12, so hurry.
ReplyDeleteWe vacationed a lot on P.E.I. while the kids were young, my son took his wedding trip there and one of my daughters spent a year in Tignish as monitor of French as a second language in two schools there.
The wife and I went on trips, on our own. We may go back this summer.
