    Absolutely gorgeous. The province offers a lot of information for tourists, and that was a lifesaver for this home. I visited quite late in the year, but was able to learn about Pope and his belief that PEI could become part of Canada, successfully. I'm glad he thought it was a great idea, because I love this corner of the nation!
