Just try and convince me this Jesus sculpture I spotted @ the National Cathedral doesn't look like the perfect incarnation of Buddy Jesus! He's holding up a peace sign & a basketball (no that isn't the world, people) for Christ's sake (;P). I had the hardest time stifling my giggles when I came across this. 
The other sculptures were much more gripping. The creation story above, for example. My mom and I saw the sculptor's work at a little gallery in Sauselito this summer. I'd been excited to visit the National Cathedral and experience his masterpiece ever since. I was happy to find a darling garden to walk around in, and the feeling that I was on a European backpacking adventure when peering up at the buttresses and down from the tower. 
And when would I have ever worked it into my schedule to visit this breathtaking place, if it weren't for my visiting friend Jackie's desire to take it in. It pays to have a couch bed when living in a tourist destination. Come one, come all! Take me on YOUR vacation... in MY own backyard!
