The Charlottetown Farmers Market, held in a permanent building near the university, bustled this morning
with enthusiastic buyers and hopeful local farmers, artisans, and food trucks. It was so hard to pass up the wonderful local food choices, especially the big bags of fresh peas to shell, the baby beets, lamb and cheeses. The coffee line was the longest, and when Bob requested a ceramic cup, he learned that each of the many hanging cups is personally owned and left there to use each week by its owner.
While Marney inquired of the sea glass artist about the best beaches to find sea glass, Bob relinquished his 1986 Guatemalan leather belt for a new one, made by Page Harris

We delighted in discovering a dedicated bike path along Victoria Park and the harbor.
A former two lane road with a central planted strip had been converted into a one-way road using one lane and a bike path on the other lane. A pedestrian boardwalk is next to the harbor for walkers and joggers.
Having moved our bicycles and panniers to the Harbour Inn, we enjoyed seeing downtown by foot for the rest of the day.
The Confederation Center for the Arts, celebrates theater, art, music, library on a central block in historic downtown.
A side street, Victoria Row, has restaurants
with outdoor patios, picnic tables with painted checker boards and drop by players, and live music groups.
Our afternoon highlights included:
★ We are Canadian: multi-cultural folk dancing and song by the Young Confederation Players
★ Visit to art gallery and library
★ Watching the end of today's Tour de France stage while eating a delicious sandwich at the local deli
★ Buying an original sketch by Serena.
★ Scoops of COWS ice-cream (Mooey Gooey & Wowie Cowie)
Evening highlights: Kristin, Benny, Korcho and Sinta's arrival. Karlyn, Srikant, Vikram and Ashok arrive at midnight. How happy we are!
