countess richard ... there is a small but very tight knit Acadian population on PEI ... the majority of the Acadian population is in New Brunswick, along the north shore ... in fact roughly 1/3 of the population of the province of New Brunsiwick is Acadian. New Brunswick is also, I'm proud to say since it is where I live, the only true bilingual province in Canada, as it being legislated by the province.

As per a water trip down the St. Lawrence ... I can't help you there as I have no knowledge of those services available ... but that does sound interesting.

I should like to commend you on being knowledgable about where the best music in Canada is found ... in Eastern Canada and Quebec!
