2023 Summer Road Trip – Day 36 – What Do You Do When It Rains On PEI? ICE CREAM!

Wednesday, August 9, 2023

Again, we are so thankful that we took the ferry yesterday.  The wind blew all night. Even in the wind, we both slept well.  It was bad enough this morning that at times BB would feel like it was rocking.  Early this morning the rain began and continued most of the morning. The morning ferries were cancelled due to the winds. We decided to just ride out the storm there on the cliff.  It was never bad enough we were concerned for our safety but we didn’t want to be driving.  Therefore, we took advantage of our time to better prepare for our Bible study group tonight.  We so enjoy our group of RVers who meet together online each Wednesday night.  Special group of people whom we love.

After the weather improved, we decided it was time to get out a little and drove to Charlottetown to the Cows Creamery.  It’s also the factory and there was a little self-guided tour and you could watch a little of the work in the factory through some large windows.  Mainly you could try different flavors of ice cream and decide what flavor you wanted to buy.  We had blueberry ice cream with the little PEI wild blueberries and pralines and cream ice cream.  Both were excellent.  You could also purchase all sorts of Cows t-shirts and trinkets.

This afternoon we drove to the community of Murray Harbour.  We have been Boondockers Welcome hosts since 2012, almost since the service first started. The first couple we hosted lives here.  They have always been special to us because they were our first, and they are so sweet.  As of last spring they are no longer traveling out of the country but they are still hosting and are really happy to have RVers come for a visit and reminisce their RVing days.  If you are Harvest Host members, you might want to consider a night or two in their driveway. In spite of the storms, it was another good day.
