Cavendish Campground - Prince Edward Island

We have made it to o the northernmost point of our trek.  Deb says that we should never venture this far north in June because it is too cold.  So I checked, we are as far north of Boston as Virginia is south and we are roughly on the same parallel as Portland, OR and Paris, France.  But it's only suppose to get up to 16 today.  We have converted to metric pretty well. Yesterday, the GPS guided us carefully to the wrong spit of land and after some diligent internet searching, we found where we were suppose to be.  Deb looked at the GPS and moaned that we still had 32 kilometers to go. Yesterday we found a vegetable store, and got artichokes ($1.49/lb CAD)  and corn on the cob  (it was interesting produce is measured in pounds).  Also on the ferry they measured our RV in feet to make sure that we would fit on a ship measured in meters.  When we got to Cavendish, the wind was howling off the ocean which really brought up the surf.  We took a walk down the spit before dinner. There are kilometers and kilometers of dunes.  Unfortunately, Drex isn't allowed on the beach here, so he had to spend the time sleeping in the warm RV. (We are right on the beach(site 54 E/W), but somewhat in the woods - which helps with wind, but does bring the Mosquitos)
