Day Seven-- Starting to lose count of the days

After training for the past 6 days on an average of 6 hrs a day the boys were really wiped out and were too tired to make the skate down to meet their parents on the web camera in front of the Province House. So we took a relaxing day instead and did a little touring later in the afternoon. Prince Edward Island is the location where Confederation took place. We toured around the water front and then headed back to our rooms for a little pizza and video games.

For those that don't know, Canada was finally joined together went all the leaders of various areas (of the British ruled area) came to PEI to finalized Confederation. The Province House was the location of this meeting. Most areas of the Province House are still in use today.

Another interesting story is in (I believe) 1999 there was a pipe bomb exploded at the front entrance to the Province House. At the time, a friend of mine was the first person in the scene to help the injured pedestrians. He used my sister’s jacket to cover the wound of one person. The rescuer was my sister’s boyfriend and my roommate at university.
