London Ice Sculpting Festival

We set off intending to go to the London Ice Carving Festival.  Unfortunately, our Metro line had major disruption (meaning, closed in parts!) due to planned track repairs.  The good news is: we learned that we can take the "big train" into town instead on our Oyster card.  Always learning here....

We did make it to the festival eventually....

It was crowded....

Unfortunately, there weren't any finished pieces on display yet, so we headed on in search of more adventures in the Canary Wharf area.

We found a huge shopping area.  Yes, that's a leg the butcher will carve meat off....

And a "Sugar Mouse Biscuit."  Because, why not?

Green chilli does not mean the same thing here....  (It was jalapeños, so I'll give them some credit....)

Our view at dinner:

After dinner Katy wanted to tip the musician in the courtyard "all by herself"

Our walk back to the a Tube station:

Apparently we were pretty silly on the train home....
