The Farm, the birthplace of British Columbia and a 100 year old railway station

Friday, June 5

Steve and Sue live in a bungalow on Steve's sisters farm. It is a beautiful place. Steve's sister Joyce Trygg is a well known artist, famous for her animal paintings.

This afternoon we go to town. Fort Langley is the birthplace of British Columbia
Fort Langley is a village community with a population of 3,400 and forms part of the Township of Langley. It is the home of Fort Langley National Historic Site, a former fur trade post of the Hudson's Bay Company.

This evening we see a Coyote in the nearest paddock. Naturally, the camera does not happen to be in my hands, so I just have to watch it.

In my next life, I want eyes with inbuilt cameras!
