My small town of Plymouth is in the midst of an outdoor ice carving festival. There were perhaps 100 carvings including several large scale installations. Team Japan, as in past years, had several large well-executed entries including a large dragon. My favorites were carvings by individuals - there was a glorious cat seemingly in motion, a fish with wonderful scales and outside my favorite restaurant, a carving of a waiter carrying a tray of martinis.
We walked up and back in the new snow. (Lots of snow this year!) On the way back, I overheard a woman say, "Plymouth is such a quaint and cool town". Well, I hadn't thought about it in a while, but I guess it is.
We had planned to stop for coffee, but the lines were long, so we made our own mocha latte concoction at home along with a big bowl of popcorn. There is nothing like a long walk in the cold to make one enjoy the coziness of home on a snowy afternoon!
