I’m not feeling 100% better yet — okay scratch that. I’m not really sick, just tired and draggy-feeling. It could be sadness over March Break (!) ending, but then, it could just be that I like to sleep for lots of hours and haven’t been. Speaking of which, we were listening to this man on the CBC (scroll all the way to the bottom and/or look for the name “Dr. Steven Aung”) talking about how he only sleeps 2 to 3 hours a night and he’s a doctor and that’s all the sleep he needs. All I kept thinking was “What? NO! NO NO NO!” so you can guess whether or not I’d ever try and go that route. I don’t care if it does win you the Order of Canada.

Anyway! Today I decided I would take it easy and only do one of the March Break Challenges. Also I’m lazy. So sue me. I picked DJ’s — she wanted some pretty touristy pictures of PEI. As luck would have it, we had to go to the province’s capital city, Charlottetown, today. Charlottetown is also known as “the birthplace of Confederation” because that’s where all the old dudes met up to discuss making Canada into an actual country way back in the 1800s. We weren’t there for anything fun, just buying Judd some food and oh! wait! some fun: buying the paper we’d need for our wedding invitations (yay! now we only need to make sure of where our reception’s gonna be, and then we’ll be all set!), but we managed to snap a few touristy-ish pics. Or, at least, I hope they’re touristy. I asked Rob (he being newer to the Island than I) and he said they qualified.

This is Province House. It’s where all the politics happen here in PEI. It’s old. There’s a statue out front. I think the Confederation guys might’ve actually touched it, but I’m not positive so don’t quote me on that one. I’ve never been in it. Maybe I should move on.

This would be a photo of the Confederation (hmm, notice a theme?) Centre of the Arts. Among other things, it’s where Anne Of Green Gables: The Musical has been running since the 1960s. It’s a pretty good play, if you ever have the chance to see it. Millions of tourists do, every year. I went, in grade 9, on a class trip. My friend Tanya sat next to a man who she thought was dead. He smelled like Formaldehyde and didn’t actually even move during the entire play. I’m going with my class on a field trip on Monday, to see a musical group perform. In french. Oh, and also in grade 9 that’s where the provincial science fair was held (my best friend Cindy and I went ALL THE WAY to Provincials that year! Because we were the only 9th graders in our school to actually do a science project! No wait, the guy I would later go to the prom with did one, too. He came in 2nd place and got to come to the Confed Ctr with us) and umm… I remember there is art in there too. I suck as a tourist.

And those? Are the very first ever Public Transportation in the history of Prince Edward Island. Yeah, you have city buses? We have these things. They’re only in Charlottetown, and they only make (I think) four stops, but whatever. They just started running in December. People are pretty excited about them.

There! That is All!
