Yerba Buena Gardens Carousel

$3.00 for 2 rides. I love carousels. I think the beautiful painted animals are incredible, and I used to obsessively beg to ride them as a child. This one was fairly empty on the early Saturday morning as the operator juggled in his spare time and other kids pointed in awe.

MLK Memorial Fountain, Yerba Buena Gardens, SF

It was not an intended destination, but a well timed one. As you walk through the fountain, the noise of the crashing water blocks everything else out. I made myself stop and pause at each quote and contemplate the past. I am proud to live in a world that Martin Luther King Jr. did. I am glad that this place exists, that parents walked their children, and couples toured toured through.











Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
