Last weekend I travelled east to visit a fellow exchange teacher who lives in Hillsburgh. Hillsburgh is situated 2hrs 20mins drive from London, and is mostly rural. We had decided to attend the local Maple Syrup Festival, and as you can see from my images I have finally experienced my first pancakes and maple syrup dish. Again as is the Canadian tradition, serving sizes are 'small'... I must say 'real' maple syrup is v.v.sweet. I enjoyed the village atmosphere of Elmira, and was intrigued by the local Menonite community. Whilst enjoying the day, we also bumped into some more exchange teachers, boy we sure get around! So it was good to catch up with an aussie accent, and sense of humour regarding our experiences. Regarding the weather, again we had been lulled into a false sense of it's spring, no more jackets or winter woolies. However, this was not the case on this weekend, with temperatures of zero we were forced back into our many layers and boots.
