So I headed out this morning intending to do a ride up the coast of New Brunswick. Very early into it I came upon the longest bridge I have ever seen. I couldn't pass it up, and 8 miles later (yes, the bridge is eight miles long), I was on Prince Edward Island. I decided that I might as well make a day of it, so here I am. As long as I stay away from the few main roads, there is very little traffic and good riding. I made it out to East Point which is as far east as you can get without a rowboat. There's a lot more agriculture than I would have thought. One of the main crops is potatoes, and they have potato stands along the roads, just like we have fruit and vegetable stands along the road. Things are starting to look a lot alike. Pretty country and a lot of water. I'll head back towards NB tomorrow, and see what happens from there. That is if I don't get sidetracked. Mileage was a bit down today because I stopped earlier than usual, because I had to get a load of laundry done before it walked away on its own.
Present location: Kingsboro, PEI
To gay's mileage: 253
Total: 2712
Today's photos: The confederation bridge

More yard art, you can actually buy this one if you want
Canadian observation: I don't know what personal or property taxes are up here, but I am continually surprised at how much sales tax is on things.
