It was another stellar summer evening, and what better way to spend it than eating fresh fish and chips from Pajo's in Garry Point Park, Steveston. Pajo's serves up halibut, cod or salmon with fries, and if you're not a seafood lover, burgers are also available. Add a little tartar sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon, and you've got the quintessential taste of summer.
While you're eating, you have a great view of the water, the boats going by, and the sunset.
Today it was time to head out to the Stanley Park sea wall with Shelby. It was a busy day at the park; the weather was hot and sunny and the scenery speaks for itself. The sea wall is the perfect place for strolling, roller blading, walking your dog, or cycling, not to mention the many photo ops.
Sunday we headed out to the Fusion Festival in Surrey at Holland Park. There were numerous tents set up selling food from around the world, a free stage with multi-cultural entertainment, as well as arts and crafts for sale.
The food was the real draw; here is a Jamaican smoothie with 5 fruit flavours. Perfect for a hot summer day.
Together with a papusa from Ecuador, and followed by a Romainian chocolate crepe hot off the grill, you have the makings of a divine culinary experience.
Today was a perfect weather day to take the luncheon cruise up Indian Arm. We left the harbour at the north end of Denman Street at 11:00 and sailed through the city, past Deep Cove until finally reaching the water-only accessible coastline of Indian Arm.
We pulled in really close to this waterfall and got a bird's eye view. There were also some jellyfish swimming around here.
This shot gives a good idea of the breathtaking scenery and pristine natural beauty of this area.
The lunch buffet (salmon or chicken) was delicious, the service was friendly and efficient, and it was overall a great way to spend a summer afternoon.
