ice walls


wrapping up at the Quest: a media dinner at The Drunken Goat, a Greek resto downtown...great food, if you're ever looking for a meal in winter in Dawson City, this is the place to go.
this is a photo of the entrance room, which Tony (owner of the Goat) has built as a seasonal mud room. it's entirely made of ice and snow, apart from the door--it took two guys three days to build it, using ice blocks they cut from a nearby pond. they built it in November, it should last until early April at least, and it's especially pretty at night, when it glows with the lights inside.

Let Maxi get this straight...or if you will..correct...so...even when you go out for a bit of sophistication...you are in a walled up den of ice...so...as I said...before...to clarify...my tightening skin from the chill...you are cold and close to freezing...in and out of doors...in and out of social boundaries...you are plain...FREEZING...
Could or would Maxi endure? I shudder...

from the jacuzzi of warmth...

obnoxiously but toasty...
