Wow! We bit off a little more than we could chew with this one. We hit the mural mother lode! This is both good and bad because we had so many to choose from that we didn't know what to wear in order to "match" any particular wall and ended up flinging three bags of colorful things and random accessories into the car, planning on some luck and a couple of costume changes.
What really happened? We depleted our camera batteries, patience and sweat within fifteen minutes. There were stumble holes crisscrossed with brambles and the ground was spangled with broken glass. There were at least four other groups mugging around with cameras and the kids started choosing their own clothes (my tshirts) instead of matching ones and I was so hot I stopped caring about anything. I think my brain was getting a little melty.
Luckily Sarah was with us and helped me talk the monsters off of the narrow walls (which they were using as balance beams) and took great pictures despite the 2000 degree heat. Check out her lovely design/creative blog and adventures living in a houseboat in Amsterdam. Afterward we bought overpriced smoothies at the hippie yoga place and summer dresses at the thrift store. (cheaper than the smoothies)
There are so many cool murals in this town that it could take years to dance in front of all of them. I might have to come back to Castle Hill because there were three more levels we didn't even get to! Here's an article talking about the public art project.
Happy Wednesday
