The Einstein Memorial and National Academy of Science

One of the advantages of doing the guided bike tour was that the guide took us to some little known places. This is the Einstein Memorial in front of the National Academy of Science. Being the science geek I am, I really appreciated coming by here. The memorial is pretty neat. The artist gave Al a head proportioned like a child's because he was known to be very childlike in many of his behaviors. He is also wearing sandals, which he apparently wore regularly. Local legend has it that rubbing his nose will impart some of Einstein's intellect. Rub away, Christina! (I fell off before I could reach it!)
