Park<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 It was quite cold and windy, but it allowed us to watch some brave folks try to paraglide.\u00c2\u00a0 The scenery in Steveston is just fantastic \u00e2\u20ac\u201c fishing

is worth a walk through if you have the time and the\u00c2\u00a0interest.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We continued along the boardwalk and passed even more fishing boats (they can be a great place to buy fresh fish when it is in season).\u00c2\u00a0 There are plenty of restaurants in the Village core but this was a walking and not an eating date, so we kept on going.\u00c2\u00a0 We did stop and grab a coffee at one of the many coffee shops(seriously\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6there are a lot of coffee shops\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the people here must never sleep) and kept on strolling.\u00c2\u00a0 You can walk or
