sunday

today started out another beautiful cloudless day, so we figured we might as well enjoy for a few hours and did laundry!
around 11:00 we left for cornwall, just beyond charlottetown, to meet up with jim & freda terpstra. along the way we stopped for lunch at charlottetown harbour and got bamboozled again (elephant price, mouse-size food). guess we didnt learn our lesson the first time
then off to jim & freda's for a short visit to get caught up on the news. nice place they have, right on the water and no one else in sight. rita and her daughter kaiyla came over to see us as well!
quick note to dan from uncle jim - there is a tree fort beside their cottage at least ? 25 feet off the ground and he needs you to put in a zipline!?!?
back to our campsite as clouds started rolling in. checked the water temp and it was pretty good with the toe test, so we got our suits on and went back down to the beach. started strolling into the water and, and holy smokes, didnt it get real cold every step farther in you went. by the time we were in up to our knees we felt like we were wading thru snow, so that was the end of that!!

ok, so our next trick was to cook supper over an open fire. got some really nice coals going, set some potatos on the grill, and, surprise, it started to rain! took all the supplies inside, and the rain stopped. got it all going again, just got nice and hot, and , surprise, it started to rain.  ok, so that was the end of that, and we will shamefully admit we resorted to using the microwave to finish the potatos. funny how low you will stoop when hunger strikes!!
tonight we have the campground pretty much all to ourselves as all the locals have pulled out after the weekend. quiet! ... yeah!!
just an addendum to yesterday's missive .... while we were at the ferry stop waiting for the boat to arrive, we decided to have some lunch in the trailer, in the parking lot. made up some sandwiches. karl finished early and went outside to chat with the fellow in the camper behind us in line. he was dutch so joanne came out. after our chat joanne went back in to finish her sandwich and cheese, only to find max sitting on her bench seat with a big grin on his face. the sandwich and cheese were gone!
