First, fill your belly. We had omelette and blueberry pancakes. Yummy!
IHOP

We went to see “Ice on Whyte”. This competition started in 2003, because some individual artists wanted to exhibit.
We visited this exhibition last year as well.
I forgot how much the entrance fee was last year, but this time it was $5. This year the volume of sculptures seemed less than last year. I wonder if it depends on the year as the artists are busy traveling from one festival to another and the schedules don’t match or something…

For a few days before this day, it was around -25 c. No worry about melting, but it’s too cold to go out. This day the temperature went up and it was around -2 c. The next day’s forecast was around zero, so it must melt quite a lot. Even this day, we saw some sculptures melting or even falling!

Very beautiful. (I borrowed the image from this official site.)

This day, it was “Dutch Day” at the event, and Dutch artists were carving a  famous Dutch person (?). We think it’s the future king??
