For the most part it's very rural and pastoral, pretty farm homes,
gorgeous red soil, kind people with happy faces.
Charlottetown is super relaxed, a great small city with character and
awesome people. The university contributes to this a lot, it's like a
prettier Waterloo.
I stayed in C-Town with Janna's friend Katrina, a cool relaxed very
pretty girl, living with a couple other 'chill' uni students, in a
great old house, falling apart, full of instruments and character.
Made me think about 'the house that three hot chicks lived in' back in
Glendon days.
I also had a couple amazing conversations with men at least 70 or up
in PEI. Thoroughly enjoying, they just loved to talk. Now I know a
tonne about hauling produce between PEI and Florida, and about the
oher mans crazy inventive friend who I think would remind me of Tommy
Sayles (one year with no bees about, he used a vacuum cleaner to blow
pollen around the orchard. 'only guy with good apples that year')
Oh yeah, about 10 kms into riding in PEI, there was a derelict old
potato lying on the side of the road. No word of a lie. I wish I'd
taken the pic on my iPhone instead of my camera, so I could share with
you now.
Instead you get the CRAZY confederation bridge. I'm still a little
miffed they won't let you ride on it, there's plenty of shoulder for
cyclists, something about wind blah blah
So three provinces done. w00t w00t.
superstar!
ReplyDeletei guess one good thing (maybe the ONLY good thing) is that you're starting with the small provinces so it seems like more is accomplished than if you start in the west.
oh, and you're starting with the most hospitable part of the country. that's nice too. get off on the right foot since we only get crankier from there :P
The reason they won't let you ride it is that pesky 'ol 'significant chance you'll get blown into the sea and drown' thing. Other than that, it's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteare their any sharks in the water??
