We actually walked almost 7 km on the Confederation Trail today! All the trees were cleared though there was still quite a lot of debris--small branches and twigs. But it was lovely to walk! We can see how much work there is left to do yet. Clearing the whole trail will take weeks if not months. It is not only tourists who are eager for trails, Islanders also use the trails for recreation and for transportation to work, school...

We made the rest of the day work on rural roads again; 21 km in total. Other than Fiona we have been amazingly fortunate with our weather. We can only recall 2 days of walking in the rain. Today again was sunny and beautiful.Today we moved to Charlottetown, leaving our lovely Georgetown Inn. We are now at the Elmwood Inn, a Victorian home. Our room is much smaller but still cozy and functional. Dinner out was at a popular seafood restaurant in downtown Charlottetown. Small with tables close together--our first neighbors were tourists from Vancouver, the second neighbors were from Toronto! Interesting dinner conversations as we compared PEI stories.2 more walking days...

How delightful - back on the trail at least part of the way! This is a significant step towards recovery from Fiona as well as a pleasure for all trail walkers.
