This statue is in the Yerba Buena Gardens, which is right next to the Metreon. The kids spent several minutes inspecting it, much to the amusement of passersby.

Yeah. Some people went to Chinatown. Others strolled on over to the Museum of Modern Art. I decided it would be fun to climb all over the S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien. That’s Alcatraz in the background.
