Charlottetown

　　A travel agent, who was supposed to guide us on the island  the next day, had previously told me that the island was very peaceful and there were few crimes, and taxis had no odometers for measuring taxi fares, but not to worry as the fare was fixed beween he airport and downtown Charlottetwn. The rule about the taxi fares was posted on the wall of the airport, though I found it just before leaving the island. Anyway, there was no bus service and we took a taxi from the airport to our hotel, the Best Western Charlottetown. As the first picture shows, there was actually no fare meter.
　　My daughter took a front seat to chat with the driver. She had been hungry for opportunities to communicate in English, so she was asking about anything along the road which attracted her eyes one after another. The driver might be referred to as a temporary teacher. Thanks to my daughter, I could avoid being bored. The weather couldn't have been better.
　　As soon as I arrived at the hotel, we set out for wandering around downtown. The hotel was within easy walking distance of downtown. After about 5 minutes' walk I came across a monument which I am showing you in the third picture. The epigraph said that the monument honored the soldiers who had been dispatched and killed in the 1st, 2nd World War and Korean War. I stopped for a short time and prayed for them.
