We drove to the little old Victoria this morning. It’s a village with a number of older buildings. Very cute. We had coffee and chocolates from an old family chocolate business.
The afternoon was spent in the heart of Charlottetown and of course our quest to visiting the legislature and get “the pen”. Unfortunately their legislature and the historical confederation buildings are under renovation so we couldn’t tour them – however a model and mock-up of the room was available. A very kind commissionaire in the temporary site for the legislature listened to our cross-Canada story and when we asked if there was a gift shop he said no, but offered to check around for a pen. He solicited the help of a woman who called yet another person who indeed had a pen! Phew! Mission accomplished.
We headed down to the harbour where three cruise ships were docked. The harbour is well set up to accommodate the tourists and so we enjoyed a little shopping and some PEI Cow’s ice cream.
One of my old Sunday School students, Josh Zaph, lives in Charlottetown. We arranged to meet he and his family for supper and had a fantastic visit in a lovely Irish Pub – The Old Triangle.
