Recently (especially with moving to San Francisco) I've had a lot of people ask me what it's like back where I came from, on PEI. Today I came across this video posted on PEI's Tourism Facebook Page (fan them if you haven't already!). The video focuses primarily on landscape; you'll catch glimpses of our beaches, golf courses, national parks, coastline, seafood, the Confederation Bridge, Anne of Green Gables, and other signature PEI icons. If you've seen any other great videos of PEI, post them in the comments!
