Wandering in Charlottetown 2

　　I wrote about a folk house in the previous entry. When it comes to Canadian houses, I have some pictures I'd like you to see. The first picture reminded me of a phrase in the Japanese translation from Anne of Green Gables. When Anne got a job teaching high school, she rented a room, a part of which jutted out. I couldn't imagine what it was like, but I believed that what was written in the novel must have been this roundly projected structure the moment I saw this house.
　　I'll show you additional beautiful houses. Judging from the sign saying "Museum and Heritage BEACONSFIELD HISTORIC HOUSE 1877" in the second picture, the houses around here might be for display only and no one actually lived in the houses. However, I really wanted to see inside ordinary people's houses. I wonder if I'll stay in a B & B the next overseas trip.
　　By the way, do you know "Tim Hortons"? I didn't know its name until visiting Prince Edward Island. It is apparently  a chain of coffee shops just like Starbucks and it looked like there was a majority on the island. I tried dropping in. I couldn't exactly tell the difference from Starbucks', but I felt it was a little stronger. I heard several people say "Double, double!" in a shop. What's that? It seemed to mean two milks and two sugars. Later I repeated the same order in Toronto, but they didn't understand me.

リンクしていただき、ありがとうございます！私のところにも貼らせていただきました＾＾私が旅行記をアップしている間は時系列を気にするあまり、終わるまで他の話題が書けなかったのですが、KUMOさんの方法はフレキシブルにできて良いですね。次回から自分もそうしようと思います。更新楽しみにしています（＾＾）

Thanks, I'm grateful for a bit of comment from you. "Double, double", my voice might be low or due to my bad pronunciation. I'll try it in the year after next in Whistler.

It's strange they didn't understand "double, double" in Toronto as they say the same thing here in British Columbia.
