Sept 8, Light houses and beaches

Good day  I started the day with a nice continental breaky  then a quick trip to the post office to send the last of the post cards, back to the hotel to pick up the others and we are off in search of light houses and beaches.  We make a stop in Murray's River  to check out a couple stores, first the general store which is filled  beautiful quilts,  then next door to the Magik Dragon, W2 looks in the window and says you go first you will like this, so I open the door and there is this giant dog coming my way, which scared the crap outta me as I wasn't expecting it, turns out to be a beautiful Irish Wolf Hound only 18 months old named Fergus.

Say Hi to Fergus.... at Magik Dragon

 I could have stayed and hung out with him all day....the store was good to I did manage to buy a few things,  definitely worth the stop check it out if your ever in the area.  Down the road we went the first light house being a little way down and being a cool misty day we drove on to the next one which were were able to go into and look around,  much smaller than I expected but very cool all the same.

From there we went in search of a beach,  I stopped and asked a nice man tending his garden who was nice enough to show us the way, the beach turned out to be where we stopped to see the first light house.  We spent a good hour there looking for shells and walking along the sand.  A local came buy with his golden retriever who took a liking to W2 and insisted she throw rocks for him to chase, E eventually got it to come play with her a while.  As we were getting ready to leave another lady came along with her dog for a walk along the beach,  another friendly dog,  ran around for a while then decided he should jump into our car, much to the dismay of his owner and something I found very funny.  From there we headed to York,  to pick up some seed, then off to Charlottetown for our last night,  our first stop was a quilt shop which I had been hoping to find more of,  it wasn't a great quilt store but I did find a few fat quarters of Ann material but no lobster material, so we headed to fabricville which is equivalent to fabricland in the west.  They had some nice east coast stuff so I feel I have got my material quota for this trip,  it was then off to our hotel, the Charlottetown Rodd, which is similar style to the Bess. in Saskatoon.  We unloaded the car and then went in search of supper at a lovely little tavern called "The Old Triangle"  I had the moonshine burger which they lit on fire for me,  very tastee and went very well with the Keith's.  After all that food it was time for me to go for a walk while the others went back for a swim.  I came across a couple stores still open... bought a book on facts from the maritime, then headed home to try and figure out how to get all my goodies into my suitcases......and yes I bought another bag just for that but still .....
