Day 83 Visit Charlottetown, PEI

Sat., Aug. 10

Visit Charlottetown, PEI

Drove to Peake’s Wharf to start our historic walk and shopping!  At the wharf are quaint shops and little restaurants and of course a Cow’s Creamery shop.  The sidewalks have coloured lines on them to indicate the different walks to follow.  We took the Red Line for the Historic walk. 
St. Dunstan’s Basilica
Province House 
1929 Restored American La France
Charlottetown has some beautiful churches and right across the street from each other. We went inside St. Paul’s Anglican Church from  I wonder why there are 2 and 3 churches almost side by side.  The Fathers of Confederation met here in 1864 at the Province House National Historic Site.  Next year might be the year to visit when they celebrate their 150 anniversary.  
1877 Beaconsfield Historic House  
We stopped for lunch at the Merchantman’s Pub and sat outside to watch all the people go by.  It is close to the new convention centre on the water which has a board walk joining to Peake’s Wharf.  Grabbing an ice cream with their on the spot made waffle cones at Cow’s Creamery we walked thru the nearby park reading more history sign boards and scriptures in the park.
