For Some, Sundays are for going to Church

A November Sunday here on Canada's West Coast can be, and often is; dreary and gloomy or grey and rainy. And often the weather will stay that way - with the occaisional dry/sunny break until some time in March or April.
This past Sunday was no exception, so, instead of heading off in search of nature, we stayed close to home and checked out a trio or could I say a Trinity of Churches. 

First we stopped at the Royal City Community Church, just up on 8th avenue in New Westminster.
Second we drove out to the Danish Lutheran Church on Kincaid Street in Burnaby.
Third we paid a visit to St. Barnabas Church over on 5th Street, also in New Westminster.

To finish off the morning, we went down to one of our regular haunts in Columbia Square for a couple of tall Pikes (medium roast) and cinnamon coffee cakes. Where we watched an adorable Sheepadoodle (what I guessed) wait patiently for his dad and a pup-cup.

Assorted Photos.

Car 1220 - Steveston Tram (BCER)

Sunday's adventure landed us in the Steveston area(of Richmond). (Don't try and stop for coffee first thing in the morning if you're driving. There is NO parking anywhere).

We made a quick stop at Terra Nova Park in Richmond before stopping at The Steveston Tram Museum on No. 1 Rd & Moncton to visit one of the seven remaining tram cars bought from the St. Louis Car Co. in Missouri, USA. (There were originally seven cars purchased).
Steveston has this tram #1220, and there are two other' sister' cars in BC.
One is at The Burnaby Village Museum (at time of this upload it is closed to the public but open for ticketed events such as 'Haunted Village' and 'Haunted History Walk'. It is open seasonally; spring, summer and Christmas.
Another is with The Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society that operates one hour tour rides around Cloverdale (and wouldn't you know it, at time of this upload, the Cloverdale @ Christmas tour is sold out)
And a third 3rd resides in the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. 

So, onto some photos along the way, at the tram and on the way home:

Happy Hallow'een
