Marvelous pictures, John!  Those scantily clad figures on the Maine statue look mighty chilly. (http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/merylmarie/Emoticons/frozen.gif)

I was wondering why there were flowers on Jose Marti's statue, so I googled him.  Yesterday was his 155th birthday.  8)   (http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/merylmarie/Emoticons/clinkbeers.gif)
