We are joined with an experienced trail walker, Carol Evans,who encourages David McIsaac to continue on the Confederation Trail walk for the Eradication of Poverty on PEI.
Leah Michaud, Carole Evans, join David McIsaac on our next leg from Kensington to our new destination for the day, Breadalbane. Carole tells us that she will be with us for the next 5 Kms.
We wave farewell to our walkers as they leave the gates of Kensington.
Today is a bright and sunny day, our walkers are joined with the trees and their colorful leaves that are showing signs of new life.
A pleasant surprise as we come upon a small backyard pen that gives shelter to several Canada Geese.
After several wet days the farmers are taking advantage of this sunny time and are out on the fields busy planting
potatoes. David hopes that their harvest will be good and offers them a just and fair wage for their labor.
Nature seems to offer us moments whereby one must stop long enough to take in the grandeur of creation.
It has been 8 days of walking on the Confederation Trail.Tignish seems to be so far away as David is overjoyed at having reached the halfway mark to our destination in Elmira.
Leah and David arrive in Emerald at 12 noon. They are surprised to notice that their walk has only taken 2:30 hours from Kensington.
In Emerald we are met by Heinz Mayr, a former Trail Officer who still enjoys cycling the Confederation Trail and continues to enjoy cycling a total 2,500 to 3,000 kms per year.
The wild strawberry flowers are plentiful along the trail.
It is now 1:00 pm as we arrive in Breadalbane. Our walk for today has taxed our weary body but we are happy to have walked a total 21.5 Km.
Tomorrow morning, Friday 27 May, we plan on leaving Breadalbane, heading toward Milton.
