Thanksgiving in Canada?

We had already had the traditional Thanksgiving meal with both of our families before we left for Maine.  Her parents came up on Monday so we decided to go on over to Canada for Thursday.  We headed northeast toward Grand Falls, NB, Canada or Grand-Sault.

It was a beautiful community and small town.  We headed over to the actual waterfall which is in town.  It is dam controlled so the falls were not majorly impressive but the views were gorgeous.

After a great visit in Grand Falls we got on 2 and headed south to Perth-Andover.  We saw some beautiful country on the way.  Melissa's mom had found a neat bistro called 787/Waterfront Bistro and Cafe.  They had some great fresh food and were so hospitable.  Below are pictures of some of the food we had.

Yummy!

We missed having the traditional Thanksgiving meal and spending time with family, but It was great to find something different and fun to do local (I never thought Canada would be local for me).  We look forward to visiting more places in the area.
