Country Walkers sells walking tours that for some reason remind me of the picnic scene outside Florence in A Room with a View.
From her feet the ground sloped sharply into view, and violets ran down in rivulets and streams and cataracts, irrigating the hillside with blue, eddying round the tree stems, collecting into pools in the hollows, covering the grass with spots of azure foam. But never again were they in such profusion; this terrace was the well-head, the primal source whence beauty gushed out to water the earth.
One of these summers we’d like to visit Prince Edward Island, for the obvious reason. I wonder how the girls would do on this kind of trip. They’ve certainly held up to a lot of walking.
E. M. Forster’s A Room with a View and L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables are in the public domain. You can read them at the libraries of Gutenberg Project or the University of Michigan, among others.
