I assume you have been to PEI, Canadia's smallest province and alomost twice
the size of the state of Rhode Island.
Last fall we were on PEI and met some good folk from Kansas, USA in their 8
miles per gallon Greyhound bus sized half million US dollar mobile home.
They opined that PEI was absolutely unique [which it is of course!] in
being the most gentile, peaceful, undisturbed, quiet, and unhurried
sanctuary in north America. For UK listees, PEI is the ultimate home of The
Archers of BBC radio fame!
