Seal Cove Campground, PEI

Momma said she was impressed by the young hostess in period dress at Roma Three Rivers. The gal was perky, friendly and full of information.....and a volunteer. 

Roma Three Rivers is an historical site from 1732 when merchant, Jean Pierre Roma opened an International Trading Post.  Now it is an historical site that offers guided tours....in July and August. So everyone was a month too late for the guided tour but....self tours were available.

They also offer meals that begin with brown bread baked in their brick wood oven served with molasses.  It was so good, Dad brought home the leftovers from the basket. Dad said the Arcadian Meat Pie was tasty while Momma enjoyed the Fish Cake.

On the way to Roma, they passed through Montague.  Someone in that area is a skillful artist.  Check out the life size cravings by the waterfront.  Great detail!!

Wood Island not only is the site of the Ferry that travels several times daily from PEI to Nova Scotia,

it is also the site of the Lighthouse Museum.

The lighthouse was manned by a lighthouse keeper until 1990.  The docent was another young gal, a high school student who had commented when we saw the wedding photos taken on property that she has hopes of having her prom pictures taken at the site.  One wedding  photographer had captured the wedding scene from the view out the lighthouse window.  Neat pic.

Each room in the lighthouse had a theme. One room was about sea life and lobster.  Another room shared travel in the winter over the frozen water.  Women and children paid $4 for a ticket for the 3 1/2 hour trip sitting in an open boat while men paid $2 and were expected to put a strap over their shoulder and help drag the boat over the ice.  My how times have changed!!  I'm sure glad Momma and Dad have a 5er and a Ram.  It's so comfy!!

I'm Chloe...taking a rest break
