La Cabane à Sucre!

Yesterday--yes, Valentine's Day, but that was just a coincidence--Xander and I went hiking at Oka, one of Quebec's national parks. We got to walk on the Ottawa River, which was a bit scary but fun. Then, we went to a sugar shack called Sucrerie de la Montagne. It's not quite tree-tapping time, but we had a great visit nonetheless. We stayed for dinner, which included a Quebec drink known as caribou and a whole lot of food involving maple syrup. It was a really great day. You can read the New York Times review for the sucrerie here.

as a child I was on a frozen lake with cars driving on it... well actually I was too scared to go out on it, and when I saw cars driving on the ice my mother was standing on, I began to cry uncontrollably.
