Thinking about Canada.........

More great things about Canada that I didn't know:

• Chips in credit cards - just pass it over the machine.  They know we are Americans - no chips.

• Currency:  They use 1 dollar and 2 dollar coins - no paper dollars.  They are getting rid of pennies.  They call their dollars "Loonies". 

• Traffic light on Prince Edwards Island that uses shapes (square, circle, triangle) as well as color to indicate action.

• Distinctive nature and culture of each Province.

• Fewer fast food restaurants and chains. Places have more local flavor as a result.

• Charlottetown, PEI has direct flights to JFK.  

Signing off on our rainy day from Cavendish.  To Charlottetown tomorrow, they expect less rain.
