After the festival, they took us to Mississauga, where we went to Square One (a huge mall!), a Chinese Restaurant for lunch and then a Krispy Kremes franchise! And yeah ok, I didn't know anything about Krispy Kremes before that but after tasting a doughnut FRESH from the conveyor belt, ooooh my God. So GOOD. They even show the whole doughnut-making-process as you can see!

Us with the World's Largest Sap Bucket

Hailin and I with our pancakes smothered in fresh maple syrup. YUMM.

The pancake makers. There was a lil kid too! These guys must have made so much money that day! With crowds and all. And charging people $4 for two pancakes! If only the weather was good. I'd have eaten so much more :D

Went to the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival with Hailin's classmate, Steven and his wife Natasha/Ningyin. Who I later found out was Ningxia's sister! Ningxia my Cedar classmate! The world is so small. I love it. Anyway this place was ultra crowded and temperature was terrible! Sooo cold and not at all spring-ish! But man there was so much food and everyone was having so much fun! Really nice experience. Basically this is when they start getting maple syrup from the trees so they celebrate by making tonnes of pancakes and pouring oh-so-much syrup on them.
