We asked a travel agency to guide us around the places associated with Anne of Green Gables. The guide was a Japanese lady who had lived on the island and she picked us up at our hotel. She and the driver were really kind and it was lucky to know them. The musical which we had watched on the previous night was enjoyable and we were supposed to visit several places regarding the author, Lucy Maud Montgomery. We visited Cavendish district at first. http://www.peiselecttours.ca/
Incidentally, do you know the name of the smallest national park in Canada? The smallest one is Prince Edward Island National Park and the most impressive scenery in the park can be seen in Cavendish. The first picture is the beach in Cavendish facing the Gulf of St. Lawrence. A short walk around here was very comfortable. The next picture is Montgomery's tomb which was beautifully cared for with lots of flowers. She and her works have been attracting many tourists here even today. She deserves this tomb, I think.
I knew naturally that Lucy Maud Montgomery was an actual person, whereas Anne was fiction. However, when in Cavendish, which is depicted as Avonlea village in Anne of Green Gables, I developed delusions that Anne had actually lived there. There were many items to place me under this illusion. The last picture is the post office where Lucy worked for some time and she sent the manuscript of Anne of Green Gables to the publisher from here.
