Now that spring
is finally here and it is warming up I thought it would be fun to reminisce
about snow (everyone misses that white stuff, right?!) In the beginning of February, Sarah and I
flew up to Sapporo for the annual snow festival. I’m not going to write a lot because I will
let the billion pictures that I am about to post tell the story, but we froze
our tails off while enjoying some of the most incredible snow/ice art
that I have ever seen (or probably will ever see), plus visits to a chocolate factory and the Sapporo Beer museum.
The festival has
been written up in 1,000 Places to See
Before You Die and this is why…
*some of these are Sarah's pictures that I stole (with permission, of course).

| Oh Japan, I love you. |
 |
| This car was a block of shaped ice that had the video projected onto it. |
 |
This was ridiculous.
To give you an idea of how big it was - those are the tops of people's heads at the bottom of the picture. |
 |
| One of the coolest parts of the festival was the team competition where teams from around the world create snow sculptures. I wonder if these guys prefer snow or sand. |
 |
| We went snow tubing! |
 |
| This was a tiny model of the eventual sculpture. |

This was Portland's addition to the competition. I loved it!
I actually think that they were on a lunch break and were finishing up/starting later. |
