Riding the Rails

Some west-end Vancouver folk have a poor sense of geography. They rarely, if ever, make it beyond Thurlow Street. Some are quite convinced that the city of New Westminster is somewhere back east near Winnipeg or something. And many are under the false impression that they need a passport to travel to Langley.



In actuality, our apartment is only 25 minutes away via the SkyTrain. The main problem occurs after getting off at Granville Station as it can take half again as long for a bus to mosey along.

Last night, as downtown New West. residents, we were downtown for the finale of the HSBC Celebration of Lights fireworks competition which was quite magnificent. We didn't get home til midnight but went down again this morning for watch the Pride parade. What fantastic weather for our three-day weekend! Tomorrow is BC Day, a provincial holiday.
