  2. How interesting, Lisa, that this “urban wall art” is in Ecuador (and more of South America?) – it is also all over the western European countries. I was on a walking tour In both Lisbon and Paris which had us spotting such art. Great fun!

    Thanks, as always, for including us in your marvelous travels and experiences!

    In Peace,

    Irene
