The city is buzzing with tourists & locals treading the newly fallen snow. ❄️ Today is 100% chance of ❄️ which means it’s a bit warmer than yesterday.
We saw a sign yesterday telling us that there are Isaac Cordal miniatures around town. We have found his little people in other travels in Spain & Portugal & we love a mission.
Isaac Cordal (b. Pontevedra, 1974) works with sculpture, installations and photography in public and exhibition spaces. His work has been marked by the places where he has lived, such as London and Brussels. He currently lives in Bilbao.
Tiny figures are hiding in unexpected corners of Old Port Québec, perched on lampposts and building cornices.
These miniature businessmen and tourists offer a take both playful and melancholic on society’s shortcomings – climate change, inequality, and pressures of everyday life. Once a major financial hub with a dozen banks, rue Saint-Pierre still boasts a remarkable architectural heritage. By blending seamlessly into this historic fabric, Isaac Cordal’s sculptures highlight the richness of the neoclassical façades and open up a dialogue with today’s societal concerns.
Look UP and around little spaces, lampposts, corners, lights, and door frames.
It’s fun because people say what are you looking at or for…then they start hunting
Agree they’re a bit strange but cool too. They looked cold and we were too and it’s time for our morning latte
Some more wandering before shops close for the holiday…
Jeffs happy a corner warm up 🔥
Wait Marys popcorn with no line
One last stop before lunch
So many adorable “things”
When you have so many layers on you can only last so long in any store….time to find some lunch
Finally saw the snowman Linda said we’d see.
Neapolitan Pizza is always perfect
We ordered a calzone and salad for later and she gave us 2 cannolis for our Christmas Eve dinner. Sweet!
A few final lil guys on the way back to our home away from home
Time for sweats & a few Christmas movies. I think Jeff has finished all of the RomComs.
Merry Christmas Eve ❤️💚
