The Crafting Widower and I had a good trip to New Westminster yesterday, as part of our inaugural 'Jar of Fun' tours. We took the seabus/skytrain to get there, which was quite easy. Then we wandered about for a few hours.
According to the City of New Westminster website, they are the oldest city in western Canada! It is on the north bank of the Fraser River.
Apparently they did some development around the Quay for Expo 86. Check out the giant tin soldier at the Quay!
We stumbled upon a multicultural festival at the Quayside.
And tried some yummy treats (Bosnian meat sandwich and Polish Cheesecake).
Then we wandered through Antique Alley.
Where we saw all sorts of interesting treasures.
(We resisted purchasing the black bear and the vintage the commodore 64 computer.)
And we couldn't leave without having a pic taken with the tin soldier in the background!
Yeah New Westminster!
It looks like the first 'fun in jar' was a hit. Looking forward to spending some time in that big, green metropolis.
