This has been quite an event in recent years. "In the streets in front of Mission San Rafael Arcangel, hundreds of madonnari (street painters) transform the streets of San Rafael (the town) into a color-splashed gallery for 60,000 visitors each year on the second weekend in June.
Using chalk as the medium and asphalt as the canvas, artists create over 200 images in various styles and sizes. This feast for the eyes is complimented by entertainment on two stages and a wide variety of Italian fare."
I did practice staying with a 'friendly stranger' for a few minutes while mom went to get a closer look! 
Amazing creations blossoming.... This is a two day event. It is typically quite hot, and the weather is again predicted to be HOT this weekend. These artists will work through the days and into the night, on their incredible works.
We will try to go back for another peek later or in the morning.... But, will leave you with some pix from earlier this week.... With super pal, Golden Samantha.
We were hanging out in Sammie's backyard after a Monday afternoon at obedience class. Love these late day hang times! If you want to see what Avalon was doing while Sammie and I were chillin' nicely...check out her video on Sammie's blog!!!
