Strolling through Faro the other day admiring the storks I came upon these two, and thought at once of my friend Sami’s Monday Murals. For those of you wondering where I’ve hidden my Monday walks, I’m in laidback mode for the summer. I will be doing a round up of walks next Monday. Nothing too strenuous! Take care till then.

It would, Carol, but it’s not easy to find out. The fisherman is the work of a studio in Faro https://www.estudioonzetattoo.com/arte-urbana who do some fabulous work. I’m not sure about the other. There’s so much street art around these days. 🙂 🙂

I will try and always let people know, Janet, but the walks come in whether I do or not. I plan to do a round up every couple of weeks, though not necessarily including a walk from me. 🙂 🙂
