@Kehaulani Here ya go, Kehaulani:
My wife and I had the honor of meeting Count Basie and his lovely wife, Catherine, after one of his concerts.
Sometimes an anecdote summarizes someone's character, and the one I recall follows:
As you know, Count Basie was fond of wearing his trademark nautical captain's caps, and while he was in an airport with his entourage, an elderly lady came up to him and, not knowing who he was, thinking that he was a porter, asked him to pick up her luggage and come with her. Which he did. When he returned, a young member of his group (It's important to note that this was in the mid-1960s, when racial tensions were very high.) asked him why he carried this old White woman's luggage, why he didn't tell her who he was, and how dare she presume he was a mere porter just because he was Black and wearing a cap. To which Count Basie replied: "What are you talking about? The lady obviously needed help with her luggage. She couldn't manage it by herself, and I was able to help her, so I did!"

I think our world leaders could use a little Basie type thinking in their decision making.

I don't recall seeing this one, and it appears too large to miss. Is it not in Parque Güell?

El Beso (the kiss) is a large sculpture in the "Parque del Amor" (Love Park) by the Pacific Ocean in the Miraflores district of Lima, Peru. It depicts the sculptor, Victor Delfín, and his wife kissing. According to local accounts, the mayor of the district holds (or used to hold) a competition for the couple who could sustain the longest kiss, and this sculpture celebrates this. The park is inspired by Antoni Gaudí's Parc Guell in Barcelona. My wife and I visited Parque del Amor (Lima) in March. Coincidentally we were in Parque Guell (aka Gaudi’s Park) July of 2018 (see below). We immediately equated the style of the two parks and were quite surprised that Guadi did not design and create the Parque del Amor.
