Reports

During my travels, I received free accommodation for a night in exchange for writing a daily travel diary. This diary documented how I reached my next destination, the hosts who welcomed me, the food I was offered, and other experiences along the way. Below, you will find the archives of these extensive reports. Please note that English is not my native language, and most entries were written quickly, often around midnight. Enjoy!

Lynn left me a note when I woke up this morning. She was already to school. She even left some money for me!

Now what kind of cereal should I take today?

The Guardian is the Prince Edward Island newspaper, covering the island as the dew is its motto.

I decided to bring a visit to the Founders Hall in Charlottetown.

Through a reallife time machine (almost then) I experienced the true history of Canada, or what it was then.

It all started on Prince Edward Island with a meeting of the leaders of the British areas. The Northern British actually changed the name of the meeting in their favor.

An immensely big ship was built in the Founders Hall. The politicians were not really received openly in these times. Nobody really knew they were coming. So a local took a rowboat to the ship and welcomed them on PEI.

This is Mister MacDonald, Canadas first Prime Minister. Lets hear what he has to say through my museum headphones.

And it continued throughout the entire history of the country and on how all the other provinces got their name and existence. Charlottetown is pretty proud with this.

On my bike I rode around nice Charlottetown for another while.

Only forgot what this building was all about...

Back home in Stratford Lynn was preparing salad for tonights dinner out!

We had dinner at their friend Cathys house on the north shore of the island, in Pleasant Grove.

And the main deal during dinner was lobster! This was lobster from the first haul of this year.

And during dinner we played the Attack of the Lobsters.

I took this photo to show you something. This happens so often in Canada. In stead of going to a living room area and sit down, people in Canada tend to just hang around in the kitchen after all the cleaning has been done. Drinking beer, chatting around, and etcetera. I find this really interesting.
