Oddities of PEI

So ends my day in PEI.  It's such a pretty island, not as flat as I expected!  I started the day Exploring Charlottetown.  I found parking which is a whole 1.50 an hour.  So cheap.  I was discussing it with a lady in the store and she said that people are in an uproar about it.  It really is what you are used to. I went to province house, the home of confederation.  Most of the building is a heritage setup with rooms that aren't used any more and are setup as how it was.  Their representatives only number 27 so they don't need a lot of space.  But it was a nice tour.  I then meandered over to beaconsfield house.  It was an old house built by a boat builder who then went bankrupt 5 years later.  And it was a private tour as it is really quiet here. I was a little scared of how busy things would be based on the guidebooks, but I'm thinking the books didn't take the recession into account.  Things are really quiet here. ...
