Prince Edward Island

I left Texas last week, on Tuesday. When I arrived it was very cold. Go figure. After being here a couple of days I realized that I would not have a vehicle. It is kind of odd having to rely on a trolley for transportation.

If you would like to see where I am you can click here. Pretty far, eh?

As you can see, if you clicked on the link. We are surrounded by water. However, as said in JAWS, "It's only an island if you look at it from the water." But seriously, it's mostly just a small town.

I have met some locals here. They seem nice. There's a bar on campus! Sodas come in glass bottles. They use the metric system here. KFC does NOT serve biscuits. There are no dollar menus at Burger King or McDonald's. The Domino's Pizza here has no crushed pepper. I have yet to see a Taco Bell. French fries with gravy is eaten here, known as poutine.

Although I am not a big fast food guy I thought I'd note the differences.

To be continued...

P.S. Some people "pop" their collars here. Ha.
