I don't think I've ever mentioned the amazing sand sculptures they do along the beaches here in Big City. They truly are works of art, usually consisting of local attractions (Christ the Redeemer, the Sugar Loaf gondola, or make-me-blush barely bikini-ed bottomed sand girls), or special "holiday edition" creations. The "sand sculptors" hang around their sculptures all day to spray them down and to accept donations.
I have never mentioned them because I have never taken any pictures of them before. This is because: a) there's a lot of petty theft at the beaches and b) big waves often come unannounced and soak everything in their path (Guapo lost a cell phone this way). I'm pretty sure it would cost me at least a thousand of dollars to replace my camera that cost me $350.00 in the States, so I leave it at home when we go to the beach.
But today I saw a special Mother's Day sculpture that I had to have a picture of, so I made Guapo drive me down to the beach in the rain (thus the funky drops on the photos-no time to photoshop them out).
Happy Mother's Day (even to those of you who aren't lactating)!!!
