Well, lets see, if its day 21, this must be Friday. See how smart I am, must be that it has been that long since we had the TV on in the rig. OK, I have seen the TV on at Harvey’s and Paul’s. As a matter of fact Donna is watching a movie on 9-11 on the CBC with Mary. Paul and I just put the fire out…that inexpensive firewood we bought down the road is green poplar. It does not burn too well. Luckily we had some good wood left to keep the fire hot and burn most of the junk wood.
We all went downtown to see Charlottetown. There were no cruise ships in port, so it was very quiet. We went through the Basilica and Province House. Province House is the seat of the Provincial government and legislature. The legislature has only one house and 27 members, quite different form the U.S. The historical significance of this building is that in 1864, it hosted the original meeting of representatives from Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island that led to the Canadian Confederation. Afterwards, we found “Cows” and had to find out first hand how good their ice cream is. It was just past noon! It is good. Down the street we found a sidewalk vendor with grilled sausages, so we ate on the cheap, but very good. Our final stop downtown was the tourist trap village of shops at the waterfront. Mary and Yvonne both found Anne of Green Gables dolls very heavily discounted…success.
While they shopped we headed out to the Cows Creamery for a tour…well yeah and another small tasting of ice cream. They also make some very good cheddar cheese too. The weather continued to be nearly perfect.
