I have been to PEI once and it just happened that the worst rain storm in 30 years hit that day while we were in a restaurant in downtown Charlottetown. It rained so hard the works department was sandbagging the entrance to the theatre which sat in a bit of a low area on the main street. We watched from the comfort of the restaurant until the rain stopped. The owners gave us free drinks and we bought food while we waited about three hours for the storm to stop. Friendly is only a word until you meet a bunch of strangers in such a situation. We all had fun even with the rain and the power out. We had toured about the Island and yes, visited the Anne of Green Gables home of Lucy Maude Montgomery. My MIL had always wanted to visit and we decided to take her along on our trip and she had such a great time it was well worth it. A beautiful Island, calm and green, but my heart was won over by Newfoundland from where we had just come back after a week long visit.
