Wilbert's onSite experience

Yesterday

A couple of weeks ago I took these pictures:

I had no idea what was going on. I thought it was just something that is part of the winter carnival here. But I got my answer yesterday. It was called Crashed Ice.

This is an annual event where skaters from all over the world compete for the grand prize. It was a long race, and there were tons of people everywhere.

I don't know if you can see this, but on the top right of this picture, the skaters had to jump on steps. It was pretty crazy race.

I wanted to warm my hands yesterday during this race because it was cold, but I have realized that putting my glove onto one of those lights is not a good idea.

The picture actually makes it look worse, but only the rubber was deformed. When I looked back at the lamp where I put my hand, there was rubber stuck to the light frame.

So that was the event, and I got to spend it with some missionaries who are studying French at Laval. It was great to hang out with them one last time before I leave Quebec.

Today, I am just busy starting to pack and finish buying some gifts for home.

(Finally, to anyone who is reading this from Facebook, Windows Live Writer has an issue with the pictures, this is a known issue and they are fixing it. For the time being, if you want to see any of these pictures, please go directly to my blog)
