Another of the Maritimes. Immortalized in L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series of children's books. Anne is on all the license plates. Tourists come all the way from Japan to see the Anne paraphernalia. Charlottetown was the site of the last big round of constitutional negotiations. Famous for its potatoes, gorgeous scenery, and the controversial new bridge to the mainland.
