Tucson Murals (part 1)

Tucson Arizona is apparently known for its murals on the outside of buildings, numbering well over 100.  I never knew this until we went for a walk around town a few weeks ago.  At the Tucson Visitor Center, we picked up a map which showed us the locations of 36 murals.  In this blog entry are two of the ones we saw.  The first, by Ignacio Garcia, is called "La Mujer Empoderada" or "The Empowered Woman".  It is meant to represent "strength, leadership and the beauty of boldness".  The second is called Vergiss (the German word for "forget").  It was painted by Irish artist, Fin DAC based on a design he had painted previously in Berlin.  I will more mural photos in coming days.
