Ever since we've been here, the kids have had an endless fascination with graffiti. Perhaps this is because, since birth, they've been taught that, "Paper is for drawing and writing, not walls and furniture." Now they discover that I'm wrong.
Dinner table conversations: graffiti vs. murals (when is it legitimate?)
(when is it art?), public art, breaking the law, what makes good graffiti, etc.
To be fair I believe that these last three were murals, but sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference. Some of it is colorful, playful and sometimes artistic.

Michelle,I love your photos! Graffiti art is the best,the geisha is amazing. I saw a thing about graffiti artists in Iraq bringing their art to the streets and it was such an inspiring story of humanity. Anyway,the pictures are so fun. Thanks.
Some of the graffiti really is kind of pretty, isn't it?! They should put their talents to better use! I love your family and I'm so glad I'm here in Spain with all of you. :)

Alex, Simon and Eva - remember how you told me about the lizards and bugs you've seen? I saw two lizards today while I was walking and it made me think about you! Have a great day!
Michelle,
We have had many conversations with the boys about graffiti. They love it. Sometimes we go down by the old freedom academy to watch the trains (or the graffiti) go by. Stephen has a lesson plan that he did with the highschoolers all about graffiti.
