Steveston Day

Last week after a hospital visit we headed out to Brent's hometown, Steveston.  Steveston used to be more of a coastal fishing village and now is an area of Richmond.  It's also is the back drop for the TV show Once Upon a Time as parts of it are dressed to be the fictional town of Storybrooke.  It's a fun show and also stars one of my favourite Scottish actors, Robert Carlyle.  Who doesn't remember Begbie?

I believe this is the Transylvania Bread Company that's been temporary renamed during filming.

We ran into Uncle Keith (Brent's brother) and he took us on a little tour of the Pilot Boat he works on.

Steveston also has some really cute shops.  One of my favourites is Nikaido where my sister-in-law, Mikiko works.  It's full of beautiful soaps, stationary, tea and fine pens and gifts.  My wishlist from there is long.

Coco, a Japanese/Canadian magazine recently did a write up on Keith & Mikiko.  Here is a link to the article.  It's very sweet from what I could glean using google translate.
