Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

The home of Canada as a Nation.

PEI (Prince Edward Island) apparently was the site for a huge summit of all of the different providences of Canada to hash out a confederacy. And they did. If you want to know more about it, there is an amazing museum that shows you everything from Canada's birth on up to the present. Founder's Hall is a short walk from where the ship docks. And they have set it all up like a mock news broadcast. When you enter, they give you headphones that work when you get near certain displays. And this news woman who "goes back in time" takes you through it. Founder's Hall is very well done and very informative. It balances all of the information and makes it fun and never boarding. A must see.

Well we disembarked and took a Double Decker Bus tour. The guide whom was very nice took us through the town and also took us to the outskirts to show us a little of what life is like on PEI. She then stopped in the middle of town and gave everyone 50 minutes to get lunch or look around before the tour would take us to Founder's Hall. Out of the 40 people onthe bus, only 8 of us when back to founders hall. They missed out.

There are many places to shop and to eat. And most of the town is withing walking distance from the port.

This was a great day, not to windy, and just a bit cold. Prince Edward Island is a very nice place to visit.
