Crescent Beach was a more urban scene for us (as compared to Pender). We enjoyed the shops and cafes.

This was my view from bed.

On D’s lunch hour, we walked the beach path

and home via Nancy’s street. This garage was at ground level but the house was way up high. Imagine carrying groceries….

When we arrived home it was time for reading and tea. True story: I intended to read my Kobo but I had a nap outside instead.

That evening we had Happy Hour apps for our dinner at the Cactus Club. I had never been to a Cactus Club. I liked it a lot, it was full of men. Pictured above is a fried chicken slider.

Truffle fries – yum. (We have started making them since we got home).

And shrimp crunch rolls!

The next day we had a great morning walk at Blackie Spit Trail then along Crescent Beach. The 150 acres of land was purchased in 1871 by Scotsman, Walter Blackie, New Westminster’s first blacksmith. Blackie, who paid $50 for it, became the first European resident of the area, which became known as ‘Blackie’s Spit.

The homes reminded me of our honeymoon in Cape Cod.

It rained later that day, so we spent a cozy final afternoon in our Air BnB

and then had dinner at Nancy’s beautiful home. We were off to Whistler in the morning!
