Steveston



We drove up Friday afternoon and this year we stayed in a townhouse in Richmond that M had found online. We had dinner with C&A at the Steveston Seafood House (very good) and then went out to Garry Point Park to watch the sunset over the Strait of Georgia.

The next morning, I was back early for coffee and a walk before heading to the Buddhist Temple on the Steveston Highway, which I'll get to in the next post.

Steveston is a nice mix of tourism and working fishing fleet at the mouth of the South Arm of the Fraser River. The old canneries are giving way to upscale riverfront condos and public spaces, but the fishing boats still head out every morning.

I posted from Garry Point a few years ago on the other blog:
