After a vibrant hour immersed in the sights, sounds, and energy of the Surrey Fiesta Extravaganza, we hopped on the Expo Line SkyTrain back to Metrotown. But the day's adventures weren't over yet! My mom announced, "Let's head to North Vancouver! I've always wanted to ride the Sea Bus." And so, we did! We disembarked at the Waterfront station. Stepping onto the Sea Bus, the iconic vessel offered stunning panoramic views of the harbor.
North Vancouver greeted us with a unique charm. We strolled through the historic Shipyards, remnants of a bygone era whispering tales of the sea. Finally, our appetites calling, we ventured into the lively Lonsdale Quay Market.
Aromatic wafts led us to El Dorado Pie & Treats. The bakery's name promised a treasure trove of deliciousness, and it did not disappoint. We decided to share the Inca savory empanada, and it was pure revelation. Each bite was an explosion of flavor: tender sliced beef, slow-cooked in a vibrant Peruvian cilantro sauce, mingled with the sweetness of carrots and peas. The garlic and spices added a delightful warmth.

Refueled and content, we set sail back to Downtown Vancouver. My parents, weary but happy, opted for the familiar comfort of the Expo Line, while my husband and I embraced the scenic route on a bus ride home.
