Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! We've got the day off of work, and this afternoon we're heading to the Graveline's (the family we first lived with) house for a Thanksgiving dinner with some other families from church. We haven't found anyone here that has heard of green bean casserole, so we're bringing a great traditional American dish. It's kind of fun that we get to celebrate Thanksgiving here because we'll be in Peru for American Thanksgiving.
We had another great day yesterday! After church, we headed to Point Pleasant Park, a beautiful park with hiking/biking trails right on the ocean. It was sunny, but chilly in the wind off the water! We can't figure out how some of the Canadians here seem to be immune to cold weather. It was about 45 degrees, but many of them had shorts and sandals on while we each had at least 4 layers on top! Brrr!

After the park, we headed downtown to walk around by the harbor. We got ice cream at a place called "Cows" which is voted the best ice cream in Canada by Reader's Digest. They have really good homemade waffle cones and pretty good ice cream, too! After downtown, we came home and read and relaxed with the wonderful thought that we didn't have to go to work today and could sleep in!
