The great blue skies continued today. We made a goal of heading out to Coquitlam on the SkyTrain. I make it sound as though we undertook a great effort, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Evergreen extension to 'LaFarge / Douglas' was inaugurated a year and a half ago. We seldom go to Central Coquitlam and had never been on the newest 11-kilometer line. We waited for a train heading to the 'Production Way–University Station' and changed trains at 'Lougheed'. When headed on the new line, the train travelled through the 2-kilometer tunnel down a steep elevation.



It only took a half hour to arrive at the end of the line. So, a person could live out there and still be downtown in a bit over an hour by SkyTrain. That must be why real estate appears to be booming in the area.
We walked the circumference of LaFarge Lake because it was such a lovely, sunny day. Getting back to our station was less than an hour and a half in total. So, we also drove up to Queen's Park to check out the kiddies enjoying the waterpark and petting zoo.
