Very good Theo, you get 10 points for geography!

PEI is home of potato growing land, so in general it is dry in the summer and the soil drains well.

The soil is a strikingly red, very ancien dirt floors from an era before the dinausores. It remained like that because it was shielded from glacial activities and has been emerging from the ocean since then.

The island was just recently (1999) connected to mainland by the longest bridge in the world; Confederation Bridge. The Canadian Constitution was signed on PEI in 1837. Many names are Scottish, Irish and French as their boats were often wrecked off the shallow shores.

A lot of small ocean inlets connecting to rivers offer good fishing for brook trouts. Its a must see if you travel on the East Coast!
