Welcome to Prince Edward Island - It's Impressive

Prince Edward Island is as beautiful as they say it is and is exactly how Lucy Maud Montgomery describes in her books Anne of Green Gables. We enjoyed touring and site seeing for a week on the Island. The homes are well cared for and the gardens are manicured perfectly. No community is more than 16kms from water.

Interesting flavour to begin with, then they tasted just like regular chips. The smell was worse.
