we have ice

We’re all a little giddy around here because this morning the weather forecast took an excellent turn, and because we have ice!  That’s right, ice has been delivered to two sites so far - the Aquarium, where Don Chapelle will be carving “Walk Like a Penguin” (though I don’t believe the penguin will, in fact, be walking) and the Boston Common Lafayette Mall where Chapelle will (also) be carving  ”Oysterman.”  I haven’t been out there yet today, but I’m going to venture a guess that right now, there are just giant blocks of ice at both sites.  The magic happens during the daylight hours for the next couple of days. 

Fun fact - Chapelle’s background is actually in the culinary world, which is the case for many ice carvers.  More info about him here - http://www.donchapelle.com/about.html
