Street art in Amsterdam.

It wasn't quite what street art is in Berlin, but we still enjoyed exploring what Amsterdam offered us and found a few gems along the way. I especially liked the Statue of Liberty holding a peace flag and the little girl holding the sign, "A day without laughter is a day wasted." There is wisdom to be found in street art, I tell you... and it's free... always good for a budget traveler.

Murals throughout San Diego.

The other part of our field trip (besides meeting famous artists and having a fabulous party at Chicano Park) was exploring murals throughout San Diego. We looked at four of the murals that were commissioned by the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art as part of their Viva la Revolucion exhibit highlighting street art.

Stop one: artwork by Shepard Fairy in South Park (my neighborhood).

 Stop two: artwork by Os Gemeos on the parking structure of Horton Plaza downtown.

Stop three: artwork by Chor Boogie/ Writerzblok Collaboration on top of the parking structure of Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego.

 Stop four: artwork by Dr. Lakra in Barrio Logan.
