C-Lovers

 We went with Donna out to C-Lovers with Linda and Cec. It was Linda's birthday recently so celebrating. It really is the best fish and chips in the Lower Mainland...and they have mushy peas.  Lots of fun and Linda picked up cinnamon buns and chocolate croissants from Cobb's...all to die for!

Great day, guys!

Donna drove us home via the Alex Fraser Bridge. You avoid the tunnel this way which can get congested and it really is a gorgeouus bridge...wow!

From Wiki:

The bridge was the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world when it opened on September 22, 1986, and was the longest in North America until the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge opened in 2005. As of 2009 it is the 32nd-longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, and second-longest in North America. It is 2,525 m (8,284 ft) long with a main span of 465 m (1,526 ft). The towers are 154 m (505 ft) tall.[3] It consists of seven lanes, three in each direction with the middle lane acted as the counterflow lane, and has a maximum speed limit of 90 km per hour until July 24, 2019 when the speed limit was lowered to 70 km/h to accommodate the additional counterflow lane.[4][5] Upon opening in 1986, only four of the six available lanes were open. Cyclists and pedestrians share two narrow side-walks one on each side. All six lanes opened in 1987 after traffic demand justified the need.[6]
