RE: More Street Murals in Playa del Carmen
Both gillian and I have been referred to as lovely over there :) And I was so in awe of that mural, that I forgot to look for a signature. If I can find it again, I'll have a look. I just start walking and wandering and stumble upon these things!
wow lynncoyle1 that sounds like an interesting hobby and I assume it's very safe there? I mean are there bad parts of town that you try to avoid?
It is very safe. Like any city, there's places you don't go, but I've never felt unsafe anywhere here yet. Actually, where we live now used to be pretty rough, but the government saw that tourism was spreading, and they "moved" the ghetto much further away from here. Tourism is the only economy here, so it's in everyone's best interest to keep the tourists safe.
oh I understand lovely lynncoyle1, thanks for the information and good luck on your walks to find great artwork! like that one with the turtle, you just say "who ARE these people?"
You'd be surprised how much is around here! The turtle won is pretty awesome too (I haven't got any voting power, so I'm waiting to comment on those ones :). haha who ARE these people...no kidding!
well it just seems like these artists are too talented to be doing this on the streets, I'm glad they are but it seems like they could make good money selling their paintings some where.
I'm hoping they are and this was just a cool city initiative @janton.
really? do you think the city is that smart? I guess they could be..interesting.
you gotta find one of these artists and talk to em.
Yes, I heard somewhere they had a city beautification plan and this was a part of it. There's way too many murals around for it to be accidental. Remember, tourists love this kind of stuff, and that's what this place is all about :)
