Date: Monday June 13
Because of time constraints, we have had to abandon our plans to visit Nova Scotia this summer. But that left us plenty of time to visit Prince Edward Island. When the weather forecast called for ten days of rain and highs in the 50's and 60's, we almost headed back to Maine. I'm glad we didn't. We've really enjoyed PEI. It's a delightful little island.
We're finally starting to get the hang of some of the cultural differences up here. When we first saw a restaurant that had a sign bragging that it was "fully licensed" we were puzzled. It wasn't until I saw the french translation on one of the signs that I figured out that it means that they have a full bar!
Another real challenge has been the metric system...especially driving. What's the speed limit when it says 70kph? It's on the smaller dial showing speed, but neither of us can see the little print without reading glasses! And we panicked when we saw a sign for a low clearance given in meters! We only know our height in feet and inches. Anybody that can figure our 10ft 8in height in meters gets a prize!
