Our trusty little Kodak point-and-shoot had sand in the mechanism! Not surprising because its been in many places with sand in the last 3 years, including the sand and dust in our basement renovation job. At home, it would be cheaper to buy a new camera but because of the much cheaper labour costs here it made more sense to repair.
So walking home I detoured along the malecon stroll to test the camera. PV is full of artists and sculpture is the most prominent form of public art, also serving as landmarks and meeting places.
The Seahorse has been PV's symbol since 1976. The Friendship Fountain (the only one on the malecon) was a gift from sister city Santa Barbara California --- by an artist named Bud Bottoms! Others are creepy or grotesque in my opinion. Some look like characters from the bar scene in a Star Wars movie. And how about The Dancers ---as smooth as Dancing with the Stars on TV but with more clothes on.
