| Our delicious Thanksgiving meal |
You may remember that last year, we had our first Thanksgiving dinner here in Canada at our friends Karl and Mariel’s place, in Nanaimo. We had a great time talking with Karl’s family, listening to good music, and eating turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, pumpkin pie with ice cream… Wow! Canadians have a great way to thank God!!
Well, from that day until this weekend so many things happened as you guys have seen by reading our posts. So many good things and some tough moments which made us stronger. To summarize: Patricia and I had very good reasons to thank God again for 12 amazing months. A Thanksgiving dinner would be perfect, but we changed our minds and we thought that could be even better if we had a Brazilian lunch to celebrate.
That is what we did! We went to a Brazilian “churrascaria”, which is a restaurant which serves barbecue, the real Brazilian barbecue. Well, we can tell you that we had a very good time there and I will tell you why. The Brazilian “churrascaria” normally works this way: you have a table with some salads, rice, potatoes, polenta, beans, and stuff like that and you also have waiters who keep bringing you fresh meat until the moment you say something like “please stop, for God sakes, I am so stuffed!!”. At the “churrascaria” where we went to this weekend, they had 11 different meat types and, wow, we ate a lot. We have never been in a “churrascaria” here in Canada, so we were really missing the Brazilian barbecue. After that lunch, we walked for a while and had a quick nap to help our poor digestive systems, but it was really worthwhile!
Very good way to thank God for everything He has given us and a good way to ask Him to help us out here in our path in Canada!

And since our digestive systems are still working on the Brazilian lunch that we had this weekend, Patricia and I also enjoyed this beautiful fall weekend with a walk at Confederation Park, a breathtaking place right in the back of our place. Check these pics out and let us know if this is not a breathtaking place. We hope you readers enjoyed the photos and also your Thanksgiving weekend!
God bless you all!!! Thanks for reading and see you soon!
