Anne doesn't live here anymore

We travelled to Cavendish, a town about 30 minutes from Charlottetown this evening to have dinner with Jeannette's Great Aunt Pauline. The town is the home of Avonlea, and after September it is a virtual ghost town. Cottages, amusement rides, restaurants, even the local Petro Canada are all dark and closed until May. It's a strange thing to see all of those buildings quiet and unused. Apparently it's quite the opposite come summertime when the area is jammed full of tourists.
