さっぽろ雪まつり

i'm just returning from a weekend getaway to japan's most northern island, hokkaido. my friend, sandy & i went to the sapporo snow festival, which is one of japan's most famous festivals. we saw amazing snow & ice sculptures, went on crazy rides & ate the most delicious ramen! it was definitely an incredible experience! here are a few of the photos from my winter wonderland weekend:

sandy & i in an igloo:
a temple made entirely of snow!
fish & crabs in an ice house?
sandy & i about to go down the snow slide:
ramen! my new favorite japanese food!
... as usual, i miss you all & think of you every day. i can't wait for june!
