Our painting appointment is at noon, so we occupy the morning getting our pictures
together.  Then it's off to see Angie.  We bring our iPads, loaded with animal pictures.

We connect with Emma and Shannon our painters.
Emma says "You want me to do what to your breast?"

We show them our pictures, and discuss the mural.  They are impressed
at how organized we are.  There is some negotiation over price, but after a
a few quick text messages with Troy, our painter from previous years,
the contract is made.

And so the painting begins







I hold up my monkey for Emma.
(no, not that one, my iPad monkey!)





We attract attention from the Peanut Gallery behind us.



Emma touches up my monkey...



...and there it is.  Fantasy Fest Mural number 5.









Back to the Condo to drop off our clothes and stuff we won't
be needing the rest of the day.  Naked is cool!


Out and about, on the streets.



Mallory Square


Wylands Gallery, for the essential photo op



































Wyland snaps a picture of us, and then poses.







We pop into the Smokin' Tuna for a cold one.
..and find it's been taken over by a Swingers Club!

Back on the street...







A quick break for some street food.




















The Bats...


And...  The Bat Cave

It takes us over 4 hours to walk the 5 blocks bewteen the two
Wylands Galleries on Duval.
This is where we'll watch the people exiting from the Mascaraed March.
Two of us are a bit gimpy, so we elected not to walk the parade route.

The sun is about to set, and the night looms ahead.  Want to see more?
