Pine Hills RV site 71

Charlottetown, PE

It was bound to happen.  After two marvelous weather days with gorgeous blue skies, it is not only cloudy, it is raining!  Now if I thought trying to share bandwidth with the other campers on a sunny day was a challenge, just think what will be in store today.  Everyone will be indoors trying to stay dry instead of swimming in the large sized pool or playing on the playground or visiting with their seasonal friends or out touring like the gang has been doing.  Momma says internet here at this campground reminds her of internet before I was even born.  Back to the days of dial up...slow speed...internet.  Yawn😏😮

It's Saturday and the Farmer's Market is open in Charlottetown.  The weather didn't seem to keep anyone home, including us.  At least the market is inside a building housing the 60 vendors.

Sunflowers grow well in this area

Craft items for sale as well as food items

Mini donut making machine busy at work

Well attended Saturday morning market

Bread anyone?  Too many to choose from.

A ride around the streets of Charlottetown was up next....just to get a feel for the area.

This church was huge, covering city a block.

Being the capital of Prince Edward Island, it seemed only fitting that the Canadian Tire store was the largest we have seen.  Lots of inventory on the well stocked shelves in the store that was at least as large as a Super Walmart in the US.  Easy to get lost in for sure!  I know Uncle Steve will surely have withdrawals once we cross back into the US leaving Canadian Tire behind.  

It's so sad not only having all that grass,

but having room to romp in it only to be told it is raining and you have to stay inside.  No ball playing in the rain.  Hey, I won't melt you know.
