I took a walk around town this morning, from the ship to the Citadel, a fort on the highest point of land overlooking the city. Here's a view of another landmark, the four sided clock, taken from the Citadel with the city n the background. This gives you a good idea of how steep the road is from the harbor to the Citadel. (Yes, it was quite a climb!)
On my walk I went by this Canadian Corvette, an anti-submarine patrol craft. Last year I made
this post about my visit when I toured the ship and took lots of pictures since this is the same size ship my dad spent 2 years on the in the Pacific during WW II. Seeing it made me wish I could share it with him again and hear his tales of life during his "2 year cruise".
Princess had a local dance company come on board to entertain us by doing various Scottish Step Dances. They had a bagpiper accompany them on a few dances and a violin trio on some others.
Today is our son, Andy's, birthday. Princess decorated his door with a poster and balloons, and also gave him a special dessert at dinner. It was so nice sharing this special day with him and Melissa.

So glad Andy got a birthday decoration....after almost freezing to death on the whale watching boat. Poor guy! Ms Molly is fine. We're a bit cool here too. Sami and Oscar think they're gonna die if they get out of the heated beds. Its been about 60-65 the last couple of days. It went from very warm to very chilly. I'm getting so excited as you all get closer to PEI!!! Can't wait for those pics! ~Sylvia
