Jay and I walked past the new Pier West towers yesterday. Years of construction work had discouraged us from stopping at the popular area along the western end of downtown New Westminster's riverfront.
Seeing the Quay encouraged me to walk the whole length of the Waterfront Esplanade today, especially because of how nice the weather was. I strode past the public quay and the 'World's Tallest Tin Soldier' both going and returning!
Today, was the first day I didn't walk uptown though. My Fitbit still rewarded me with similar statistics. For example, I managed to burn an extra 619 calories in one hour and seven minutes. During the outing, I averaged 118 bmp in Fitbit's heartrate zones. My trip west and back totaled 4.25 kilometers.
So although I got in my exercise this morning, I was happy just to enjoy the scenery along the Fraser River in our downtown. The temperature was around 19°C at the time. The sunshine felt wonderful.
We have never once had a single regret in the choice of our adopted little city in the geographic center of the Metro-Vancouver area.
