The Route of Enterprises

Over the years Paseo de la Reforma has seen numerous displays of fiberglass figures painted by local artists.  Most famous are the "Mexicráneos", the large painted skulls placed on the boulevard for the Day of the Dead.  A display of cow figures was called "Cows on Parade".  Last year there were prickly pear cactuses in commemoration of Mexico City's 700th anniversary.  One year in honor of the World Cup, there were giant soccer balls.  (I wonder if this summer there will be soccer balls once again.)

Right now there is a less intriguing display... simply a bunch of painted spheres forming what they are calling the Route of Enterprises.  Each of the spheres is sponsored by a companies that are based in Mexico or have offices here.  The display is not nearly as large as the others I mentioned.  There are 17 spheres (representing Earth) along one section of the boulevard.

Here are some of the painted sculptures...

I was surprised the "Grupo Bimbo" was not represented here.
