The Georgian Bay

While Jean-Habib and Lisa were busy preparing the turkey, my parents and I drove to the top of the hill of Blue Mountain. Objective was to have a walk up there and enjoy the view on the Georgian bay, i.e. the great lakes.
After struggling to find the parking that was simply not well indicated leading to people passing it without realizing, we did park and got out of the car. It was windy, very windy, so windy I was happy to wear my “North Pole special” outfit.
Sadly there was not much to see as the weather was very cloudy by the time we got there. We could still guess the shadow of the lake far away but that was about it.
We walked a bit on top of the skiing trails, watching the few skiers fighting for the little snow available. It was almost surreal how the hill had snow but the plain and everywhere else not.
Despite the cold, it was nice to be outside, breathing (very) fresh air.

Now it’s time to go back and have a hot chocolate.

Yes, it's much more important staying with the family, than enyoing snow in the mountains.
