Taking a bus to the CULTURE!!!
Eau Claire Sculpture Tour
On July 11th our group of explorers went on a
tour to see the sculptures that are scattered in Eau Claire. On our last
adventure we went on a bike, however this time we got to take a bus in a city
that we do not know a lot. It was like a challenge that we were kind of lost.

The outdoor sculptures are an attraction of the city and we
got to see five sculptures. The first one was "Percussions III", a weird one in our opinion.

The second one was the Sculpture "Emma by the Water", who looks like a homeless child looking for something at the horizon.

The third one, the most beautiful one, is called "All in the Same boat" and represents a boat with some buildings in there, like it was a town in a ship.

After the most beautiful one, we went to a different one, a sculpture of flying fishes, that's amazing We've never seen this before.

| Reel Thing, by Lee Badger, Virginia. |
Finally the great one, the most imprecise in our humble view, "Prairie Ship", that looks like a Pirate Ship, was so cool to enter the ship that we are thinking about visiting it again.

The local is very easy to find. For our excursion by
bus, we need to use two buses to go and two more to return. The buses that we
catch to go to the place near the sculptures was number 6 and 12, but the buses
to return to the university was another ones. The route numbers were 8 and later
the 15. However, they do not stop in the right place that we need to go,
therefore anybody who wants to go there will need to walk a little
like we see
in the photo of the map.
If you wants to go there and need to see the bus
schedule, you can go to this site:
They have in this site all the bus routes and
