Some of the art installations worked better than others but overall, it was fun to check them out while in Amsterdam this winter. <br /><br />And thanks as ever for the Puppet Ponyo appreciation; and also for letting me know about Jaume Plensa's Wonderland, Calgary YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-9875410850725113742016-01-12T03:32:25.690+08:002016-01-12T03:32:25.690+08:00Hi YTSL,

You capture Ponyo in a pose of her usual travel-elation, which is always enchanting.<br /><br />On a related note, there is an interesting installation in downtown Calgary by artist Jaume Plensa. You can find it on Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-22723511694282100072016-01-12T00:56:25.386+08:002016-01-12T00:56:25.386+08:00Hi sarah sbk --

(More to come in future posts.) <br /><br />Re Puppet Ponyo: she is a wonderful companion who never demands anything extra as well as never complains -- and when needed, she's ready to make one smile. :)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-50980566296621053002016-01-12T00:08:03.974+08:002016-01-12T00:08:03.974+08:00HI ytsl,

I enjoy boat rides as you pointed out you see a place from a different perspective than you do walking or riding around. Puppet Ponyo looks like she also enjoyed the ride. In many ways I think she's the perfect companion.sarah bailey knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748376721447408580noreply@blogger.com
