Sugar Bush Buddy


For two weeks in March our friend, Abel, from Mexico City came to Kingston with the desire to learn how to make maple syrup.  Abel is a 17 year old student who studied at FSS last year.  At the end of his one year stay we met his mom and she and Abel asked if he could come to visit on his March Break.  We said yes!
Abel was a great guest, very polite, always asking to help.  He worked hard in the sugar bush and learned a lot about a wonderful Canadian and family tradition.  We shared stories and learned things from each other.  Abel helped me decorate my Easter tree and experienced his first Easter egg hunt.  He taught us how to make proper Mexican tacos and even prepared our dinner on one night.

Taco Dinner!


Friends!


Sugarbush Buddies!


Meditating by the fire!

Adding more sap!

Snack time!

Someone got a little too close to the soot covered pan!
