Le Cabane a Sucre


Maple Syrup
Originally uploaded by Mazzy.
I am so excited because tonight I am leaving to the city of Sherbrooke for the weekend.

Why?

For a Quebec tradition called Sugar Shack or in French, LA CABANE A SUCRE. You see, The springtime (March and April) is the best time for Maple Syrup formation as the temperatures in the night are freezing and in the day above zero. This is when it is best to make the maple syrup.

So this weekend I am going to experience this tradition in action - the making of the syrup, the celebration of Maple Syrup, and a have a hard core sugar fest!

I am so excited....

I AM IN CANADA BABY!!!

i hope you had as much fun as i always did making maple syrup growing up. highlights usually included playing mud football or tag with all of my cousins and second cousins. perfect mud conditions go hand in hand with maple syrup season!
