A DECISION TO LIVE IN PEI

Prince Edward Island is Canada's smallest province and its least inhabited. It's the home of Anne of Green Gables, beautiful red beaches, an abundance of sea food and will soon be the home of Erik and Catherine Wang and our little doggie, Kaede.

We have been frequent visitors to PEI and truly loved every minute of the time spent there. We always left the island behind wishing we could stay longer; maybe even forever. It's about time for another Wang adventure and we're jumping into this one with both feet. 

On the 12th of December 2016 we'll be jumping into the truck, leaving Ontario, friends and family behind and heading on down to PEI to live.  We've rented a home in a small village called Stanley Bridge, located about 30 minutes north of Charlottetown. Stanley Bridge, in the winter, boasts a gas station on the corner, and not much else.

What better way to decide if you want to live somewhere, especially in Canada, than spend a winter holed up in snow with no friends or family around, surrounded by nature. What a great opportunity to get out and about and see the sites, embrace the culture and lifestyle while finding ways to make friends. With any luck it will be a good year for snow and we can cross country ski to our heart's content. 

Probably will look a little more like this when we arrive!!

As for other amusements, we have sourced out year-round, indoor tennis for me - hurrah!!! and plans are in the works to advertise the fact that Erik is an accomplished keyboard player seeking like- minded musicians to jam with. 

Both Erik and I volunteer now and there will always be opportunities to volunteer for something, somewhere, somehow. Our little doggie, Kaede, should be a help in the finding people department. Dog lovers always find other dog lovers. 

Kaede - always up for an adventure.

Some photos that we took last year in Prince Edward Island may give you an idea of the beauty and serenity of this charming island that convinced us this could be a great place to live.

So, what's not to love about fresh seafood?
