Thursday, July 10, 2008: Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, Canada

Apurva, the cook, and I ventured for a chanting walk from Cavendish ( the popular location of Lucy Maud Montgomery's fictional character, Ann of Green Gables) to Cavendish Main Beach. Naturally, many of our youth on the bus, chose to spend time at Ann's place. Some of us vied for other explorations along the beach, where thousands of violet coloured Jelly fish were flipped over at each turn of a wave. The strong and clean air of the Atlantic was most welcoming.

Our Bhagavatam class was very interactive involving the boys and girls. They seem to thrive on the purport readings when I incorporate charades. It was a day to spend time, personal time, with several of the youths. No play practise today.

The day came to a close with kirtan, chanting, near the beach. Sobhai, a local friend, with a retired school principal Mr.Joshi and Mrs. Gupta, came to join us from Charlottetown. They were extremely impressed with the quality of the chanting by our young men and women. When Gopinatha, our sixteen year old very white boy, spoke in Hindi, they were doubly impressed.
