At the heart of Avonlea lies Green Gables. Our hajj takes us from Minneapolis to the farthest shores of Canada's Prince Edward Island. The parallels are strong - Avonlea is Mecca. Green Gables is the Grand Mosque. All around us are little 11, 12 and 13 year old pilgrims donning locks of red braided hair. "Anne" is spoken in hushed tones with great excitement. The mere sight of Green Gables is enough to bring some to tears.
I warned Kristi that she may have a "Huh..." moment. (We have all experienced these moments. It is that moment where years of built up expectation and anticipation meet reality. In your mind you contend with incongruent thoughts. What should be, is not. What is, should be not.)
Kristi's anticipation of Green Gables meets reality... Need I say more?
