One of the most interesting destinations to visit is the ice hotel in Quebec, Canada. The entire hotel is made of frozen water and the pictures are beautiful. It is called Hotel de Glace.
Wedding receptions are held in the cathedral of the hotel. The interior and exterior of the cathedral are covered in white. The outside looks similar to an igloo.
For dramatic effect, on evening occasions there are colored lights shining on the ice as spotlights. The purple and green lights illuminate the intricate details of the walls and columns of the cathedral.
If you're ever near Quebec, canada going for a tour would definately be a experience of a lifetime. It is one of the places I hope to visit when I travel there soon.
