I’m taking a weekend off in beautiful PEI. Specifically Cavendish, staying at the Shining Waters Inn.

For a variety of reasons, this was about the only chance I had to take some time off for the next 3 months or so, so I jumped at the chance. I still have to do a couple of hours of work a day, but it’s so close to “real” time off that I’m relishing it.

The irony is that in deciding to go to PEI, I just wanted to stay away from Anne of Green Gables stuff. I didn’t really look up where “Anne of Green Gables stuff” might be located, but I figured if I picked somewhere pretty remote I’d be fairly safe.

Yeah, so Cavendish? The home of Anne of Green Gables. @#$&@ ;-) It’s okay though. It’s not too in your face, and there aren’t too many tourists around this weekend so it’s alright.

I spent 3 hours on a 12km bike ride today along the coast and through some forests. Last night I went for a 2 hour walk to grab some food (an hour each way). Raining the whole time. Like torrential rains and 60km/h wind. It was awesome. I spent about 20 minutes yelling into the rain. It’s an incredibly freeing experience to just forget the world existed and to let loose a little bit.

Course it took me 20 minutes to get up the courage, but we’ll keep that our little secret ;-)

Tonight I’m planning to go to a clam bake and then just hang out on the beach listening to the surf.

Anyways, back I go to being offline. Have a great weekend :)
