San Diego - statues

Friday October 2, 2009

Glenn was tired. I got the bright idea that, since we were going to take the trolley over to Coronado, he could wait at the ticket booth for it while I ran over to the park with the statue, on the other side of the aircraft carrier. When we had taken the trolley before, it zipped into a mall by the water. I figured that mall was right beside the statue so I could meet Glenn when the trolley arrived. It seemed so simple.

Off I went down the street and around to the park.

And here is the 25 foot statue of the sailor and the nurse, called 'Unconditional Surrender.' If you wait a moment or two, somebody will come along to reenact the scene.

A closer view. Those shoes are huge.

Ha, what is that man doing?

Tucked away behind the sailor statue is this - 'A National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military.'
