Our final day on the island was a predominantly beach day. We spotted the lone mounted Canadian police officer on the island. Goliath and his officer are in retirement and act in a public relations capacity. We asked questions and patted the horse. We found Goliath's raised maple leaf insignia made by raising his hair through a tin plate with a wet brush.
The beach was lovely. Not too hot and with ice cold clear water for cooling off. We spent several hours on an elobrate drip castle.
The dune grass surrounding the beach danced in synchrony with the wind.
PEI is a major exporter of potatoes. 25% of Canada's potatoes since a the addition of the 8 mile bridge. Larissa found a recipe for PEI potato cake and made it for us. It was very moist and delicious.
We took an evening trip to the amusement park - the sand spit. I think it was my first Ferris wheel ride in 35 years.

Fire and skipping stones by the beach was a beautiful end to a fantastic week.
