A few weeks ago I wrote that our new home and now it is revealed it will be Charlottetown the Capital of the Province of Prince Edward Island. It has in common with these 3 places in Italy the following, with Pesaro on the Adriatic, music and culture, with Capri, it is an Island of great beauty and with Sicily, it has fine cuisine, seafood, beef, cheese and wines.
An aerial view of our neighbourhood, I can see our house on this photo (circled in red), in the Summer cruise ships come into the Harbour area on the Hillsborough river. You can see the entrance of the harbour giving unto the Northumberland Strait. From our living room window we can see down Prince street to the Harbour the ships as they dock.
So only 11 weeks left before we leave for PEI.

Congratulations! My son-in-law (to be) is from there. It sounds wonderful. Make sure you get a set of Paderno cookware and some of those red dirt spuds on arrival! Take care.

Does PEI have the same sordid reputation as Capri? Is there a bar on the piccolo marina equivalent?

I would not say sordid, one has to have a sense of fun when you go to the piccola marina. Hello Sailors!

Well as you know I have much simpler taste in authors, I am not an intellectual like you. I prefer John Preston and Lars Eighner who write more in the genre of “The pizza boy he delivers”

Monsieur le docteur, I do not know what you mean. At any rate you always promise to send me reading material, where is the beef?
BTW who is this Ibsen guy was it a nice book and did it end happily?

Funny you should ask for today in 1891 “ghosts” had its debut in London. The audience was outraged. Mostly because Ibsen did not give the play a happy ending the audience expected. Nothing in Ibsen is nice or ends happily. I like that a lot.

PS – you should have told Ur-Spo you’re reading Zweig’s Marie Antoinette. That ends very, very badly.
At least Peer Gynt ends up back in his own back yard with faithful Solveig. Or according to some productions it may be his last fantasy before he dies.
