PEI

We are in Charlottetown, PEI. Charlotte was George III missus & Prince Edward, their famous son. (but only famous for his daughter). Linda is a bit confused - she saw a sign for best PEI fries you can get. She said "surely they don't cook them in that"

Really nice city, easy walking. Good job really as we spent a bit time searching for an ATM to get some $Cad to use on the buses. Unlike London & other major European cities you can't tap to pay with a debit card, cash is king. The Historic House, Beaconsfield House, was interesting - one, because the owners paid for the pre-existing house to be moved across the street & two, I was born in the front room of a house of the same age & with same Victorian features. Spooner Historic House? Nice view they bought 'tho.

Did you see I found Wally(Waldo)

Lot of Anne of Green Gables going on. I read the book sailing over - not as good as Biggles for me. The author Montgomery was born on the island & AOGG is set here.

We're meeting up with friends from Plymouth Ma soon, and I was looking at the Spooner house, a museum in Plymouth. Their website has family letters & there are several Walters in the family & I was born on the anniversary ofu one of their daughter's birth. 

It's scarecrow time - what on earth is the red scarecrow doing!!!
