Aug 9th, Burnaby, BC.

Today was a leisure day.  We left about 10:30 and are now returning
at 5:45, not too bad huh? We may have even spent the entire day within 5-6
miles of the campground where we are staying.

Our day started out at the Burnaby Village Museum where we found history about 
the town going back to the early 1900's. We were able to climb aboard a restored 
electric street car made by the St. Louis Street Car Company. We were told it took 
about 5 years and 1/2 million dollars to restore. It was a fine example of an early 
street car and even had the original weave rattan that was featured on the car.

By the afternoon we had moved onto the local mega mall, Metropolitan. It is the 
largest mall in BC. It was 3 floors and very similar to The Galleria in Houston and
 covers 3 full blocks. 

It was a cheap day for us because we did not find anything we could not live without.

BTW, I am going to add a special poster that I saw and the 1st person that came to mind
was Damon, knowing he will like it!

  1. Ein wirklich schönes Design, und klar macht es mehr Spass selbst zu malen. Bei WahooArt.com können Sie aber auch Gemälde finden, wenn Sie auf der Suche nach etwas ganz Speziellem sind. Wie dieses zum Beispiel http://Wahooart.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8LHUQV , das ist ein Gemälde von dem czechischen Künstler Frantisek Kupka, aus dem 20. Jarhundert. Solche und noch viel mehr können Sie unter wahooArt.com finden.
