Wednesday the final pod arrives and once it is unpacked, we will be officially moved in! The first picture is of our new building, named the Phoenix, as viewed from the park by the Fraser river where we often take Bailey for her daily stroll.

The River District is part of a planned community with many amenities a couple of years away. However, there is a distinct feel to the neighbourhood. We’ve been welcomed to this area by so many people, it’s hard to believe. Even Bailey feels welcome – check out the free parking and free water for the dogs!

It’s a working river, for sure, with lots of tugs towing various vessels and big log booms up and down the channel. Here a big heron gets a look at the area from atop a big piling.

Bailey never gets tired of checking out the river. If I let her get close enough, she jumps right in. There are other parks, but we haven’t ventured far yet.
