Notes from BC

After spending the majority of Christmas and Boxing Day indoors we decided to go out yesterday to get some fresh air and also experiment with our new camera. We prepared a picnic and took a drive north of where we live to Burnaby Mountain Park which is close to the Simon Fraser University campus. It only took us about 20 minutes to get there and it was relatively quiet on the roads too. We opted to eat our lunch in the car instead once we arrived though as it was a bit too cold to sit outside for Lou!

The mountain itself is lower than many of the surrounding ones but it still gave us a great view of the Burrard Inlet. Had it not been foggy over the city then we would have been able to see downtown Vancouver clearly too but on this occasion we could only just see certain buildings and structures. The place was really nice and definitely a place we'll be going back to as there are plenty of hikes to go on around the area. We just need to some proper walking shoes now.
