I went to Puerto Vallarta last week during our vacation. One well-known attraction in Puerto Vallarta is its seaside promenade. There are many shops and restaurants along the promenade as well as a number of statues and sand sculptures. One of the most-recognized statues is The Seahorse.
"The Seahorse, a nine-foot-high bronze statue featuring a boy riding it, is arguably Vallarta’s most-recognized symbol and has the most complex history. Almost a decade before Rafael Zamarripa’s work became the first sculpture on the Malecon back in 1976, its identical twin stood at the south end of Los Muertos Beach. But due to the relentless force of people climbing on it and high waves and strong winds, it eventually toppled and was lost to the sea. Then, years after its doppelganger was installed on the downtown Malecon, the original mysteriously reappeared, only to be lost again in Kenna, re-found and then reinstalled yet again."
We had a great first week back, enjoy your weekend!
