Yes, it's a penis statue. Not just a penis statue: a penis fountain statue. And the two spheres at the base? Balls that rotate freely atop jets of water. Yes, art reigns supreme in the land of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and the fabled dancing gorilla.
We drunkenly posed for photos under that statue after we left Casa Rosso -- our second visit to the well-strapped gorilla.
So Merl, when you visit be sure to look for the statue. And please convey my warmest regards to the sexed-up simian of the Red Light District.
Did I ever blog the gorilla story?
