Vacation Before Adventure

10 days before my departure for Inuvik, Paul and I are on Prince Edward Island for 9 days of much needed R&R. We only arrived on Friday evening, and already feel the effects of tranquility and peace that only this place can give. We attended a wonderful concert at the Indian River Festival last evening, which among others featured Isabelle Gallant(pianist) and her new husband Jacques Arsenault(baritone). Isabelle is our Godchild, daughter of dear friends. Tomorrow we celebrate her 24th birthday, before they leave for Edmonton where Jacques starts his Master's Degree. They are both so incredibly gifted!

We plan to spend our days walking beaches, eating lots of great seafood, spending quality time with family and friends,  breathing clean, soft air, and enjoying gentle Atlantic breezes at our seaside cottage.  MORE LATER!

It was simply wonderful to see you both for your brief holiday on PEI. Bon Voyage on your journey to the North and we hope to see you and Paul again next summer.

I will agree heartily with Bob's comment, Cynthia. I loved seeing both of you and having you stay with me, come to the concert, and to the birthday lunch! Isabelle and Jacques arrive today in Edmonton. They've had a good trip. Your photos of each other on the beach at Argyle shore are lovely- Paul looks SO relaxed!
Good luck as you get underway with everything in Inuvik!!
Love, Anne
