Richmond, BC: Shanghai River Restaurant

We were picking up a neighbor at YVR, Vancouver International Airport, and decided to treat ourselves to lunch on the way. We chose Shanghai River, a restaurant highly rated both on Trip Advisor and Yelp, and we weren't disappointed.

You can watch employees in the kitchen assembling the Xaio Long Bao through a window on one side of the main dining room.
 

We thought the teapot was cute. Something new to us was their serving a second teapot full of hot water.



The beef noodle soup we ordered proved to be good comfort food.



The soup dumplings - our favorite Xiao Long Bao, were excellent.



At about Canadian $10 a dish, it was a good deal for food of this quality, and we'd return here without hesitation.

The glorious weather continues.

When in Skagway, why not enjoy a great train ride?

Inside Passage on Holland America

HAL isn’t what it used to be, at least in our opinion, but the scenery is gorgeous, highlighted by beautiful weather.

Yes, that’s an Orca in the distance.

Nooksack River at Ferndale

Low water on a beautiful day. That dot in the distance is a dog walking out midstream to fetch a stick.

Sleepy in Seattle

Our flight was good, the US Immigration inspector we encountered was amazingly friendly and nice to the girls, and we picked up our car at the parking lot without a problem, once we figured out where Brian had packed his car key.

We said our goodbyes to Lily and Peyton, and Riley and we spent the night st the new Hilton Garden Inn, a pleasant property behind the Airport Doubletree.

Home  later today.

A Lengthy Experience at FRA

A comedy of (Condor) errors and incompetence but we’re aboard DE 2032 and should take off fairly soon.

Homeward bound...
