....PEI, is a fantastic small town,
if you up here, they'll show you around;
but come in the warm months when the weather is nice,
or, come in the winter, to see snow and ice.
Bring your fishing pole or a kayak or two,
whatever you want, they have something for you.
It's quite a trip up here to see all this stuff,
but we'll keep going, we've not seen enough!

Brudenell....
...PEI, home to the best golf in Eastern Canada, here,
seashore golf and a Provincial Park, make it clear;
visitors come all summer long, to play and explore,
when asked if they've enjoyed themselves, the answer is sure.
So if you'd like to play a round, or maybe even two,
we've found the perfect spot for that, now it's up to you;
or maybe you'd rather hike, along the shore and woods,
well that's all here as well, Brundenell has got the goods.
Top: Seashore golf.
Middle: Golf along the river.
Bottom: Shore at Brudenell River Provincial Park.

Gaspereaux...
...PEI, a small village, but right on the shore,
fishing, as always, but maybe some more;
days in the sun, that might be nice,
but this is December, soon there'll be ice.
The town faces the east, has the morning sun,
but well before noon, the sun's almost done,
it will be dark sometime before four,
and darkness will linger for 14 hours more.
Top: That's the town over there.
Middle: Fisherman's sheds.
Bottom: Rides out to the lobster boats, waiting.

Little Sands....
...Prince Edward Island, we made it on the ferry,
nobody fell off and ride wasn't scary;
so we begin our tour with a sharp right turn,
on our trip to the island, and the gas sings "burn baby burn".
What a nice place this Little Sands is,
it nice and quiet, nothing is nobodies biz;
just relax, take in the sun and the sights,
just the moon and the stars at night, no lights.
Top: Bayberry Cliff B&B.
Middle: The beach (it is Little Sands)
Bottom: How about a nice view?

Pictou (Caribou)...
...Nova Scotia, here we are, ready to go!
But first, we have a day for this show,
an active place, is what we have here;
a location with plenty to make them cheer.
The ferries run over to Prince Edward Island from here,
that alone gives us reason to cheer,
we're excited to go over there, there's a lot for us to see,
but first spend a day in Pictou, it's a good place to be.
Top: The aerial view.
Middle: The Pictou Health Center.
Bottom: The Nova Scotia Ferry Line, we'll get aboard.

Stellaton....
...Nova Scotia, a transportation hub,
busy place, if you like trains, for that there is no sub;
the Museum of Industry is here for all to see,
to check out all the trains and machinery.
Tomorrow is our ferry ride across a stretch of sea,
Prince Edward Island bound, that's where we will be;
we'll catch that long bridge on the way back in,
and we'll visit Anne of Green Gables, to see how life was then.
Top: The buildings are a part of the Museum of Industry.
Middle: How we all got here.
Bottom: The Albion locomotive, at the museum of course.

Lochaber Mines, Lochaber Lake...
...Nova Scotia, inland from the ocean, through the lakes and woods,
a stop here at Lochaber where they mine for gold, and goods,
the mines are closed the population is down;
not a lot goes on in the former mining town.
There's some work at the Hatchery, where new fish are born,
but it won't replace mining, for those whose hands are worn;
they're used to working hard, getting paid, make ends meet,
some have gone to logging, human spirit won't be beat.
Top: The road through Lochaber. Looks like Maine to me.
Middle(1): The Hatchery, grows stock of Trout and Salmon.
Middle(2): A stream, fishing anyone?
Bottom: Lochaber Lake, it's quite large (from the air, or map)
