One day Miriam, Melanie, and Gabi took me to Centro Comercial Iñaquito (the Iñaquito mall), just to walk around, look at stores, and eat ice cream. So there was this blue angel statue... that turned out to be a live human! They gave me 15 cents to put in his little bucket... then his eyes looked at me, and he smiled at me (without opening his mouth) and did a slow, swirling dance. Then Melanie took this picture of me with him! His little bucket said "Gracias por apoyar el arte" ... "Thank you for supporting the arts." What an interesting art form! :)
