Ivan and Masha were able to join their host on several nice outings in August:
One nice Friday evening, after work, the host decided to take Masha and Ivan on a pizza picnic at the park. First, they went to Pizza Pizza, a fast food chain, to buy and small pizza, a can of Coke and a small bag of chips, and then they headed to the Domaine Fairview to eat quietly in nature while reading a magazine.
The next day, the host took Ivan and Masha to a free concert in a local park by a classical music group that plays Tango Nuevo (mainly music composed by Astor Piazzola).
Afterwards, they went and toured the outdoors Recycl'Art exhibition, by the side of Brewery Creek. They enjoyed looking at the various sculptures made by local artists using recycled materials:
Details of the giant high heel shoe shown below, that was made using thousands of pop can tabs weaved together (apparently, the artist worked on that project for several years!). The little bits with color are aquarium rocks.
This is a giant fountain made of recycled styrofoam pieces, wth a big plastic duck sitting on top of it:
A few nice views of Brewery Creek:
On the way bak home, the city lights went on all of a sudden and the Tour Eiffel bridge looked magical:
A few days later, the host took Ivan and Masha to a free outdoors concert at Parc Moussette (the same park where she took them for Zumba and Bellydancing classes all through July and August):
The Hull Music Conservatory, at sunset, on the way back home after the concert:
The host decided to make a quick stop at a convenience store on the way back to buy herself a slush! It is a frozen drink made of water, sugar and artificial flavor and color. It's not healthy at all, but it is very refreshing and the host said that Summer wouldn't be Summer without at least one slush! Her favorite flavor is cherry and Ivan and Masha agreed that it was pretty good!
