Some people have adventures every week. Others have to save up their time and energy to have some adventure. Lately, our working schedules haven’t coincided a lot, but last weekend they did.
So we ended up in a lodge on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. The place was already well known to us. But not the activities we had in mind… Come on in and see.
Isn’t that what we all desire after winter has taken its time to move out? Well, here in Winnipeg we have a way of pushing the winter out , even if it wants to remain in power.
We have the Assiniboine Park Conservatory. Here, flowers, colours and warmth are united for everyone to enjoy. The best of it all? It’s free! Come on in and take a look…
The Festival du Voyageur has come to an end and all that is left are memories and pictures. I have spoken about the ice sculptures and the ancient activities here, now it’s the time to say goodbye.
In a colourful way, of course. The Festival will be back next year, until then I count on lots of other photogenic occasions. For now, let’s say goodbye to the Festival, shall we?
Voyageurs are travellers, for those who didn’t know. Once a year they settle down in Winnipeg and have a party. A great party.
During the 14 days of that party there is lots to do and to see. Not only the beautiful snow sculptures. Take a look inside…
They have been travelling all year since last February and now they are back in Winnipeg. The Voyageurs bring with them a host of professionals in snow sculpting.
This sculpture must be my favourite, the makers are from Holland, so that choice is easily made. However, there are other sculptures that definitely are worth looking at. Come and take a look inside…
