Charlottetown & PEI

We spent the day walking around Charlottetown Thursday.

It's a beatiful little city with an interesting history. There is a walking tour that leaves from founder's hall and retraces the steps that Canada's original founders took on their way to the first conference about Forming Canada.

We spent yesterday doing the Points East Costal Drive, which was pretty disappointing. Most of the drive is through farmland, far enough away from the coast that you may as well be in Ontario, the roads are often pretty bad as well. The east point light house was nice, and the view of the beach around it was breath taking, but I wouldn't consider the rest of the drive worth the trouble. We quit about 1/2 through since we hadn't seen much so far and we had already done the last 1/4 on the way from the ferry. Luckily, there was a highway that cut straight to Charlottetown.

Today we'll drive to the North point and get a certificate that we've been "Point to Point".
