We drove to a village on the south
shore here on PEI. Summerside is a few miles west of Confederation
Bridge. The eight mile+/- link to the mainland has a claim to fame,
but I've forgotten what it is. I think it might be the longest bridge
over water that freezes.

Anyhow, Summerside is a small harbor
town, not much to see, just a tourist area by the small boat marina.
After walking around a bit we drove to the business side of town
where we walked around a mall, ate lunch at Wendy's and then made our
final stop here at, where else, Walmart!

Back at the campground we had about an
hour to let Maggie play in her pool before going to the activity
center for a game called Playing Card Bingo. We all anti'ed up our
Canadian coins for a total of nine pots. Neither Millie or I won
anything, just like our luck with the lottery!
After Bingo we had a cookout and social
gathering at Joe and Brenda's RV. Just about everyone came to the
spur of the moment get together. It would be Millie and my last
chance to see everyone and say goodbye because we are not going to
the last stop of the tour. The group is traveling back towards Maine
for 246 miles. They will gather one last time in Saint John, New
Brunswick.
There is a farewell dinner planned in
Saint John and the next morning everyone goes their separate ways.
The are a couple people who are separating from the group here in
PEI. One couple is taking the ferry to Newfoundland, another is from
Ontario and heading home. Millie and I are going over the top of
Maine and heading to Quebec City.
