This is a list of things from our travels that remind us of Valentine's Day. Love is in the air and maybe you will get an idea of what to get or do for your special someone this February 14th.
1 ) Roses at the Ice Hotel
Roses are a nice touch on Valentine's Day, but why not a wall of roses carved out of ice and lit up above your own private bed. Sure it's below zero celcius in the room but the
Hotel de Glace is a beautiful place.
2) LoveBot
Around Toronto we have encountered LoveBot. We have spotted him in several graffiti filled alleys. He is just a little expressionless robot but he is filled with love.
3) Teuscher Valentine Truffles
When it comes to cute truffle boxes,
Teuscher is the best. This Valentine's couple is a great gift for anyone who likes cute and chocolate.
4) Luzon Bleeding Heart Dove
A
Luzon Bleeding Heart Dove looks as if it has been stabbed in the chest. Don't worry it is alright. What looks like a wound is just part of its plumage used to attract a mate.
5) I Heart...
As campaigns go, the I Love New York campaign has been very successful. The word love has been replaced by a heart.
We also encountered the I Love Regina sign when we were in the capital city of Saskatchewan. You would probably have a hard time finding someone called New York, but if you know someone called Regina then this is where you should take them on Feb 14th.
6) Heart's Content
To do something to your heart's content is to do it until you are completely satisfied. It is also a small town in Newfoundland. Perhaps your heart will be content in
Heart's Content.
7) Distillery Heart
As you enter Toronto's historic Distillery District you will see a heart that has sunk into the brick walkway. A very popular spot to take photos with the one you love. In fact, try as we might, we still couldn't take a photo without at least one person being inside the heart.
8) Blue Whale Heart
The
blue whale has the biggest heart of any living creature on earth. We have a great love for blue whales. Imagine one of these hearts filled with love.
9) Lovebirds
Some more love comes in the form of lovebirds. These three birds are Lutino Peach Faced Lovebirds at Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls. Lutino means they are albino so they have different colouring. Being albino has absolutely no affect on their capacity to love.
10) LOVE on the High Line
The High Line is a park created in New York City from old elevated train lines. On one of our visits we found LOVE. We hope that everyone finds love this Valentine's Day.
