Just a Little Dusting

October 7, 2011

 

After a long, hard, wonderful slog pedaling the back roads of Colombia south from Bogotá, we took a break in the beautiful city of Cartagena.

I woke up early and grabbed my camera and wandered the streets of this World Heritage city. The colors were incredible. The architecture sublime.

I came around a corner into a square and there was a man dusting a sculpture created by the world-renowned and Colombian-born artist Fernando Botero.

I'll let the photo speak for itself. Sometimes a photo is worth a thousand words, and sometimes it's worth a thousand laughs.
