WHERE WE LIVE:
Our home is in Richmond next to the
spectacularly beautiful city of
VANCOUVER which has
the mountains, the sea, theatre and all
the big city amenities you desire, and
is often listed
in the top 3 of the worlds most livable
cities.
Richmond is an attractive modern
town with plenty of amenities, with
shopping, parks,
walks and excellent transit
connections on our new fast Skytrain
to downtown Vancouver in
only 25 minutes. We are next to the Fraser River where
you can walk, bike, jog, bird watch
and spot bald
Eagles or whatever, and have terrific
views of the mountains, the ocean and
the Gulf
Islands.
We are also a short walk into the
quaint fishing village of Steveston
where you can buy
fresh fish straight off the boats
including salmon, prawns and many
others when in season.
There are also coffee shops, stores,
museums, whale watching, a
boardwalk, a farmers
market and many good restaurants. A
great place to stay !
Things to do ~ ski in the morning (3
ski mountains), golf in the afternoon
(plenty of golf
courses) and sail in the evening (or
watch the sunset).
Take the ferry to Vancouver Island
which is a beautiful sail through the
Gulf Islands and
visit the attractive city of Victoria
where there are many things to see
and do.
