We made
it! One day short of being on the road
for two months and one hour loss of time… we’re now on Atlantic daylight
savings time.
We stopped
for one night at the Coy Lake Campground in Upper Gagetown, N.B. The heat and
humidity finally caught up with us and made setting up camp miserable.
With a bit
of liquid refreshment in hand we sat at the picnic table going over the map of
New Brunswick to pick the best route to Prince Edward Island. That’s when we met another nice couple, Tim
& Kelly Paterson.
They live on Prince
Edward Island (P.E.I.) and he is in the Canadian military and works in New
Brunswick. They haven’t spent summer together for quite a few years so they
decided to live at the campground until the end of summer. They own a 150 year
old home that they had hoped to turn into a Bed & Breakfast but a change in
P.E.I. politics made that financially impossible and they haven’t been able to
sell it. They decided that when Tim
retires they will join all the other Canadian and American ex-patriots living
in the Dominican Republic. They’ve already purchased a home in the mountains
there away from all the tourists. We exchanged contact info and they invited us
to visit them while we both were in P.E.I.
