Autumn is my ultimate fav time when it comes to the four seasons we experience as human beings, although for Scotland it's more like three - Spring, Autumn and Winter. It's just hit Autumn here in Canada and I'm loving it, the colours of the leaves, coolish weather, 'Tim's' Hot Chocolate (I'm yet to try a Pumpkin Spice Latte), beautiful skylines and APPLE PICKING.
I enrolled to go on an apple picking trip with the International department as I have been told that this activity is typically 'Canadian' and I need to experience everything Canadian don't I? Unfortunately it was chucking it down with rain so we didn't get to do the whole experience but being the true Scot I am I just embraced the weather. I picked 7 of my own MacIntosh Apples at the Dixie Orchard and they were AMAZING, who knew an apple could be this sweet and juicy?
Apple Picking is actually very educational - there's a certain way to pick them and everything! I met some lovely Asian students on my trip as well as two Canadian students who filled me in on where to travel in the world (and I've taken note). Since the weather wasn't the best the owner of the Orchard made us apple sauce which was sooo yummy and it was great to heat us all up.
