Charlottetown,P.E.I.




We drove into Charlottetown this morning. Had another great breakfast at Cora's, a breakfast & lunch restaurant we discovered in Halifax. Carol had a crepe stuffed with sliced bananas, then covered with chocolate & whipped cream. A weeks calories for breakfast. :-) I was good and had a veggie omelet. On the average, we ate a fairly healthy breakfast. Cora's could become a habit. After that we walked through the downtown area then on the boardwalk running all along the harbor. The weather was finally sunny. Windy & cool, but sunny. Gopher, the dog, attracts attention when ever we walk with her. She is a nice looking dog. Most people think she's a Border Collie because of her black & white colors. I've given up explaining she's an Australian Shepherd and say, that she's 1/2 Border Collie. It's easier than explaining the difference in the two breeds plus people like being right so why correct them if it really doesn't matter anyway. At any rate, we were chatting with a couple who stopped to admire Gopher. They lived in Ch-Town as the locals call Charlottetown. We commented on the beautiful, but cool, day. It seems July is about the only really warm month. By mid-August the weather starts to get cool. By October it's mostly cold until next May. This is a pretty town. The older part has been extensively renovated over the years. Beautiful churches, government buildings, old mansions, etc. We would come back here again.

The photos were taken from the campground we stayed in. It was on the other side of the harbor.
