HARVESTING POTATOES AND WIND ENERGY ON PEI
My wife and I spent the last week of July relaxing at the southwestern tip of Prince Edward Island. There’s not much there except a small harbor filled with lobster boats, a lighthouse, an inn, a restaurant 
(we stayed in a sweet little apartment above the restaurant – from our balcony we looked at the beach, the harbor, and the Northumberland Strait), endless cropland stretching to the horizon in every direction, and 55 giant wind turbines towering over the fields.
We didn’t do much except walk on the beach, ride our bikes (on the main road one car passes every 10 minutes or so),read books and PEI history, eat fresh food, and talk to the locals about the turbines (and the lobsters).
