Prince Edward Island Roadtrek International Rally

9-9-13_CA_PEI_RT Rally_Reg 3_Marco Polo_edited-3  Linda and Elmer hosted the September 2013 International Rally at Prince Edward Island, Canada. They kept us very busy, well fed and well entertained over the four days of the rally. The weather was a little damp and very chilly for us Hawaiian wimps but none the less we had a good time seeing old friends and making new ones.

 One day was spend at Avonlea Village. This village is representative of the stories from Anne of Green Gables, which was written on Prince Edward Island. The high light of this day trip was the local music show in the Shanty. Had lunch at the Moo Moo CafĂ©, visited the General Store, the church and the Chocolate Store. 09-09-2013_CA_PEI_RT Rally_Avolea_edited-1

On the way back to the campground drove along the shore. It is an island community made up of fishing villages and sea side resorts along the shore and small farms inland. Most of the resorts and resort type activities had closed the weekend before.

 Back at the campground we had meetings, campaign speeches and on Thursday the election for the new President. Sherry Targun won with 71% of the vote. 9-11-13_CA_PE!_Presidents_edited-409-2013_CA_PEI_RT Rally_Left-1_edited-2
