While in Canada I got the chance to celebrate my first ever Thanksgiving after being invited home by Megs to her hometown of Barrie, Ontario which is about an hour from downtown Toronto.

Thanksgiving is a chance for extended families to reunite and eat turkey and drink far too much. As you can see in the picture on the left, Canadians are very "proud" when it comes to drinking and alcoholism, which is very similar to Australia, in many ways.

It was the peak of autumn and it was good to get out of Toronto to see some nature again and seeing stars as well was good. A few of the local sights in Barrie are the Aboriginal Spirit Catcher, Lake Simcoe and the Robert Simpson Brewery.
