Out to Steveston today…first time this year…can hardly believe that!

We went out for fish and chips at Steveston today….had a nice table outside.  Lots of fresh sockeye being sold off the boats…a good deal at $20 for a 5 - 6 lb fish.  We were going for a swim when we got home and didn't want to climb the stairs again to put it away so didn't buy one.  We had our swim gear in the car.

And a real bonus was going to the Tram Museum out there and seeing one of the trams that my Dad worked on as a conductor.  They are in the process of refurbishing it.

Always a fun place to go.





 The guy in the middle is George Boston,  the father of a good friend of my father,  Bill Boston.  The docent said there were a number of  father and son teams working on the trams.

 Why shouldn't dogs get everything?


 These kids were quite cute.  Their older brother was trying to drum up business by trying to draw people in by shouting "Support child labour, buy a salmon"



 I'll have to look up recipes for squid ink.

This link is pretty interesting on the topic:
