We visited the city of Charlottetown. We toured several historic sites relevant to the original meeting of the provinces to discuss confederation. I confess that my knowledge of Canadian history was lacking.

While driving around we came upon the "Cheese lady" who made various Gouda cheeses at her small farm in the countryside. We bought several and enjoyed them with some bread we bought at a bakery. For dessert we indulged in a delicious local delicacy called "butter tarts" which tasted a lot like pecan pie without the pecans.
And speaking of food, we indulged in the PEI "lobster supper" tradition. This involved what Rick described as a "hog fest" which included a lobster entree accompanied by all-you-can-eat chowder, PEI mussels, rolls, salads, and pie. It was wonderful!
