The ice hotel near Quebec City, in all of its "Grandeur"! This is a serious palace.
Close-up.
Luminescence at night... it's all the disco party lights...
Inside the ice hotel. Doesn't it just scream -4 Degrees Celcius???
Yes an ice chandelier. No, no lights. But let it be known that the Swedish Chandelier has lights (fiberoptics)... I guess we're still catching up!
Ok... if these computers can survive the cold, so can we!! Unbelievable!
All sorts of intricate Ice Sculptures in the hallways and in the theme rooms.
Cinema Theatre -- Propaganda of course, but impressive nevertheless.
Every tourist place has to have these! Go "Inuit Dave"!
The Absolut sponsored (can you tell) "N'ice Bar".
Another shot of the N'ice bar (don't worry, this burning log did not generate any heat whatsoever.
Cheesy live rock singer with bad Guns 'n Roses covers.
Ice Glasses... a neat idea for my bar at home!
.... and even an ice chapel!
Ok, here is the crazy ice room. Ice foundation, then a 1" thick (thick??) board of wood, and some deer pelts... and then our individual sleeping bags!!
After that tough adventure, we had to reward ourselves with a traditional Quebec dessert pastry. the Mille Feuille (philo pastry and custard, with a nainaimo bar top!).
