These are some pictures we took shortly after arriving that just haven't made it on to our blog yet. The colorful ones are of the Lennon Wall (named for John Lennon) it's been around for decades now, as a symbol of hope, peace, and freedom. It is around the corner from my school - actually if I walk out the side entrance from the computer lab it's on that wall. Facing it are various embassies. The government used to show up regularly to paint the wall over - every few days or so - and finally one of the ambassadors asked them to stop - they let them know they didn't mind the graffiti or the crowds.... and it's remained since then. Popular spot, the art work is constantly evolving.
