It was dress up day. We loaded in the bus at eight twenty and went to the museum plaza for the kick-off of the 2nd International Sculpture Symposium. Many speeches, a few thousand people, Certificates of Achievements and a few hundred doves were set free. A few hundred doves flying over was the best part. Then it was time for a 500+ people panoramic group photograph, do TV interviews, and document all the other artists’ works that were on the plaza. After lunch the lectures at the conference started. Angela and I sat in a few lectures and then left to go shopping for a carry on bag for me.
