Insectarium




Wandering around a nice Saturday afternoon, I found myself close to the Botanical Garden of Montreal where a saw a poster of a “Butterflies Go Free” exhibition. This place was like in a little girl’s dream, warm, sunny, a lot of beautiful flowers and colorful butterflies flying around… Even if it sounds corny, you should definitely check it out! The exhibition is held till Sunday April 25th. More info here.

La Cabane à Sucre

… or “The Place where Maple Syrup is brought to Life”… and ends in my stomac.

Invited by a friend for a Sunday brunch, we drove one hour north of Montreal to end in a hidden place close to the woods. Well… hidden might not be the right word as that place was packed with people and especially kids. It’s like paradise for them, there’s SUGAR all over the place, in each dish, each glass and candy!
This is why it’s called a SUGAR SHACK.
The food was amazing (so sugary, so salty, so fat, so everything)! It felt so good to have a walk and do a snow ball fight in the woods after lunch!
No wonder it is not recommended to have that experience more than once a year ;)

Here’s a slideshow with pics from the shack.
