"Fun Sculptures..."

While on many of our various walks, I have noticed a lot of very unique sculptures, statues, and some very "interesting" pieces of art.  Enjoy the tour...
The Amazing...


This is by the fountain just out side of the port-I could be wrong-but I think this is for a memorial.

This fountain is at the large park-the kids love to rollerblade in this park.
The Detailed Aspects of Life...
Most of these statues are made out of bronze and have incredible details to them. They depict different aspects of life on the island.








The Living...
Street performers will pose as statues also.  This lady was amazing!

                                             
The "Unique..."
Some of these are very unique...we have become fond of the express..."It's not right or wrong-it's just different." I think that fits some of these sculptues.








The Fun...
I had to throw these last three in just for fun...

Alisia, Joshua, and Maggie sitting on a bronze tiger at Loro Parque (something like Sea World but smaller).
And below the kids are just "monkeying" around. =)


Yes, there is even a McDonalds with a drive thru here...much to Joshua's delight. Although we have not been crazy enough to go through the drive thru...it would be an experience to see what we ended up with since we don't speak Spanish and English is rather limited here.
