This post is mostly about Murcia. But first, just a few more pictures of Cartagena and one of our new puzzles.
The sculpture below is called The Marine. This was Spain’s first monument to the Spanish Marine. It is made with pieces of bronze provided by the Navy. The aim is to pay tribute to the Marine Corps, one of the older units that exists in Cartagena. As you can see, it resides across the street from the Arsenal.
The picture on the right is street art. The picture on the left is . . . a tomato! I’d noticed that it had started to rot. I had other tomatoes I could use, so I just kept this one to, you know, watch it rot. I thought it was rather artistic. When I posted it on my Facebook page, one of my friends told me she was worried about me and suggested that I had spent too much time on the boat. Another friend agreed that she had a point. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I threw out the tomato after this picture was taken. Michael was afraid of it. What a wimp. 😉 😉
