Sundays are usually my lazy days, time to enjoy and not think too much about anything. Time to hang out and leisurely read the Sunday paper with a steaming cup of tea at home, is usually my first and only task of the day.
However, a couple of Sundays ago the sun was peeking out from the clouds and it had actually stopped raining. I thought I better make the best of this non-rainy day. I didn’t want to deal with the traffic of Granville Island or Kits, but wanted to go some where to enjoy a nice latte and the fresh sea air. So, off I went to Steveston, where I could have my latte and also purchase fixings for my dinner. Fresh seafood was just up my high on my list and $5 would get me a fresh bag of shrimp enough for 2.
Once I parked my car at a 2 hour free parking spot, no change needed – thank you very much! Off towards the Fisherman’s Wharf I went, but the smell of fish and chips at Pajo’s distracted me from getting to the fish boats. I decided to stop and enjoy a bit of lunch on the dock. Nothing can compare to sitting on the dock with the sun on your face while you enjoy some great fish and chips from Pajo’s. The salt air and the seagulls calling from above, create the perfect moment to relax and unwind.
After devouring my cod and chips, I felt energized. I strolled along the boardwalk then along the village street till I found a spot to grab my latte. It was so nice to walk around peeking into windows of shops and just enjoying my day and latte.
Finally, it was time to head home but I still needed my shrimp for dinner, so back to the wharf I went. After waiting my turn and $5 later, I had my bag of shrimp for dinner. I must say they were delish!
