A parting picture for today. This is a fountain in the old town. Normally, it flows, but today it's frozen. I'm not sure why they have the festival in the most inclement time of year. Maybe that's why it's so big. No competition! (My many friends in the New England area don't think this looks all that terrible!)

Tomorrow and over the weekend, I'll try to show you some of the actual activity relating to the festival. You'll know what happens when I know. I'm a stranger here, myself.
