COW PARADE RIO 2011

The nice cows are back on what is "the largest and most successful public art event in the world." By the way, the cows have already been here in 2007, as you can see by clicking on the Cow Parade label below. According to the site of the Cow Parade, "the cow is a universally beloved animal. The cow represents different things to different people around the world:  she's sacred, she's historical, she connects us to our past. But the common feeling is one of affection. There is something magical about the cow that transcends throughout the world. She simply makes everyone smile." Even when we eat a good barbecue, I would add.
