There is this food here in Bolivia called the Pizza Cone. Thinking this is an imported concept I was surprised to find that my parents hadn’t heard of them and found them to be a novel as well as delicious food. On the busy day that we went to grab this fast food (which ended up not being that speedy) we found ourselves, unknowingly, on a serendipitous path. Thus it began.
A funny thing happened on the way to get pizza cones. As we stepped out of the truck I pointed over the zooming cars to a bit of bronze peeking out over one of the many walls guarding the row of many little houses.
“See that bit? That is a sculpture,” I said in passing hoping to rush by the blurb and have a story to tell as we waited for our food. Alas, interest was peaked, there was no rushing this moment. The artist ears pulled my mom closer to said zooming cars in hopes for a better look.
“This will never do,” I said to myself as I watched the wandering soul crane to see more. We decided to cross for a better look. Peeking in through the door I wove my treasured background story to the tune of the oohs and aahs of my dear old mom and dad.
“You might remember some time back I posted a picture of a similar bronze sculpture. That picture was taken through this very door where we are standing. Do you remember the Pegasus?” Apologetically they told me that they did not. I explained that I had seen the wing tips over the edge of the wall and my curiosity got the better of me. Much like they were drawn to the art that was now in the workshop; I too, couldn’t help myself. I stole a few shots of the wonderful piece and posted it up on my blog.
The next week the sculpture was gone; never to be seen again. Or so I thought.
To be continued…
