Maple Syrup festival on March 31 st
Here are the four types of Maple syrup we can find. In France we can only buy the medium one which has a stronger taste than the light and extra light and also sweeter.
We got to Elmira early in the morning and started with a sweet breakfast : two pancakes covered with maple syrup. So good but so sweet...
We went visting a farm producing maple syrup
These plastic containers collect the sap from the trees. Each tree produce around 40 gallons per season. And with 40 liters of Sap, we get 1L maple syrup through the evaporation process.
Alice's mother and grandmother (on the left) came to visit Alice for two weeks. They brought many kg of fondu, cheese and chocolate ... exactly what we don't find in Canada.
Traditionnal way to cook popcorns in the middle of the forest...

La surprise de la ballade est que c'etait un chemin de trekking qui faisait que monter et descendre entre les arbres. Du coup en ski de fond avec notre GROS sac à dos, on ne faisait que de tomber. Certaines chutes valaient vraiment le coup. Mais tomber n'était pas le probleme, la grande difficulté était de se relever avec son sac à dos... C'était physique et tellement crevant qu'on a fini par porter nos ski.
A 7 heures du matin, le réveil sonne. Ouf c'est la libération: il faisait si froid que les heures ne passaient pas. Ca n'a pas suffit d'être 3 dans une tente de deux. Il m'aurait fallu un sac de couchage canadien 3 saisons.
